Relative analysis on fluid flow models for graphene oxide suspended blood flow: A Keller-box approach

Abstract

The biomedical applications and antibacterial properties of graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles help to treat tumors and improve drug delivery results. The 2-D flow of GO-nanoparticles integrated blood flow through cosine character stenosis artery with radiative heat, heat sink/source, and Cattaneo–Christov temperature flux is assumed. The Darcy–Forchhiemer condition and porosity parameter are imposed in momentum equations. The governing equalities and borderline settings are transformed into ODE using similarity transformation and resolved mathematically using the Keller-box scheme. First, the GO-nanolayer concept has been discussed to inspect heat transmission rate and change in energy and exhibited graphically. A comparison of Maxwell, Sutterby, and Oldroyd-B flow models is made and displayed schematically. It is noticed that the thermal performance is raised due to the GO nanolayer. The energy transmission rate is higher in the Oldroyd-B flow compared to the remaining two flow models. The simulation of this study may help understand the mechanism of blood flows through the stenosis artery. Also, this study can be used for advanced research in biomedical, cancer treatment, etc.
