โฆ Synopsis
A mathematical model for the pulsatile blood flow in a small vessel in the cardiovascular system with a mild stenosis is analyzed. Blood is modeled as a power law fluid and the differential approximation for the heat flux is invoked in the energy equation. The effect of heat transfer on the velocity is computed and discussed.

theoretical solution of the unsteady-state momentum equation for the start-up flow of a power-law fluid in circular tubes is presented. The solution is obtained with an approximate technique which has previously proved to be useful in solving other transport problems involving nonlinear partial diff
