    A mathematical model for the pulsatile blood flow in a small vessel in a cardiovascular system with a mild stenosis is analyzed. Blood is modeled as a power low fluid and the differential approximation for the heat flux ...
  • Thermal analysis and annealing temperature dependence of electrical properties in Sn10Sb20Se70 glassy semiconductor 

    Kumar, P.; Thangaraj, R.; Sathiaraj, T.S. (Springer Netherlands, 2008)
