Abstract:
This study aims to investigate blood-based hybrid nanofluids in a Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD)
micropump for biomedical applications. The study examines three blood-based bio-convective
radiating hybrid nanofluids (Ti2O, Cu2O, and Ag) and analyzes the influence of fluid, magnetic,
and electrical properties on the radiation characteristics of the MHD micropump using
dimensionless parameters (Rd and Re). Results indicate that Ti2O nanofluid exhibits efficient
radiative behavior, affecting velocity distribution in the micropump channel. Cu2O and Ti2O
nanofluids show minimal pressure drop during high radioactivity, ensuring smooth blood flow in
microscale intravenous (IV) treatment. Ti2O shows high magnetic flux density for effective blood
pumping, although increased radiation generation raises concerns for general IV treatment. Cu2O
exhibits desirable electrical flux intensity, suitable for low radiative therapy. The study concludes
that Ti2O nanofluid is most effective for blood-based intravenous treatments with potential
applications in various therapeutic interventions requiring superior nanoparticle properties
