  "abstract": "In this paper, effects of heat transfer on the blood flow through a stenosed, inclined non-tapered porous artery subject to the action of external magnetic field is investigated. Viscosity is assumed as variable viscosity with variable Hematocrit throughout the region of the artery. Governing equations have been modeled by taking blood as incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Newtonian fluid. The energy equation is formulated by taking an extra factor of the heat source in its equation. The nonlinear momentum equations are simplified under the assumption of mild stenosis. Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is used to solve nonlinear equations of velocity and temperature profiles. Effects of porosity parameter (Z), applied magnetic field parameter (M), variable hematocrit parameter(Hr), Brinkman number (Br), heat source parameter (Q) and the Grashof number (Gr) on velocity and temperature profiles are discussed graphically.",
