The purpose of the present analysis is to discuss mathematical model of blood flow through an elastic artery with overlapping stenosis under the influence of metallic nanoparticles. The metallic nanoparticles analysis for the blood flow with overlapping stenosis is not explored so far. The governing equations for a mild stenosis case have been modeled to obtain exact solutions of velocity profile, temperature profile and pressure gradient. The expressions of impedance resistance to flow and wall shear stress are computed. The effects of different emerging flow parameters are discussed through graphs for different values of interest. At the end, the contribution of metallic nanoparticles reveals that is important to reduce the significances of the wall shear stress and resistance impedance to flow.
