Infusion of Hall current in magnetic fields has found numerous applications in monitoring these pumping, separation, and filtration systems. This novel characteristic enables the application of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) principles in biomedical technologies, particularly in contactless pumping, filtration, and separation processes. This study captures these novel applications through mathematical modelling tools.

With pathology, there exist internal blocks brought on by the deposit of substances like cholesterol, which require modelling using porous media like Darcy Brinkman structures. To make the problem analytically tractable, a long-wavelength calculation approximation in the creeping flow regime adopting the theory of lubrication approximation, is used. Galilean transformations are also used on a steady wave frame of reference, leading to the derivation of analytical expressions of axial velocity, micro-rotation component, pressure gradient, pressure rise flow rate, and stream function.

The autoencoder reduces 1,024-channel spectra to a 16-dimensional latent representation that preserves essential spectral features while suppressing noise, and the MLP predicts isotope presence from this compact embedding.
