Evidences are escalating on the diverse neurological-disorders and asymptomatic cardiovascular-diseases associated with COVID-19 pandemic due to the Sanal-flow-choking. Herein, we established the proof of the concept of nanoscale Sanal-flow-choking in real-world fluid-flow systems using a closed-form-analytical-model. This mathematical-model is capable of predicting exactly the 3D-boundary-layer-blockage factor of nanoscale diabatic-fluid-flow systems (flow involves the transfer of heat) at the Sanal-flow-choking condition. As the pressure of the diabatic nanofluid and/or non-continuum-flows rises, average-mean-free-path diminishes and thus, the Knudsen-number lowers heading to a zero-slip wall-boundary condition with the compressible-viscous-flow regime in the nanoscale-tubes leading to Sanal-flow-choking due to the sonic-fluid-throat effect. At the Sanal-flow-choking condition the total-to-static pressure ratio (ie., systolic-to-diastolic pressure ratio) is a unique function of the heat-capacity-ratio of the real-world flows. The innovation of the nanoscale Sanal-flow-choking model is established herein through the entropy relation, as it satisfies all the conservation-laws of nature. The physical insight of the boundary-layer-blockage persuaded nanoscale Sanal-flow-choking in diabatic flows presented in this article sheds light on finding solutions to numerous unresolved scientific problems in physical, chemical and biological sciences carried forward over the centuries because the mathematical-model describing the phenomenon of Sanal-flow-choking is a unique scientific-language of the real-world-fluid flows. The 3D-boundary-layer-blockage factors presented herein for various gases are universal-benchmark-data for performing high-fidelity in silico, in vitro and in vivo experiments in nanotubes.

www.nature.com/scientificreports/ his temperature exceeds 37 °C, the evaporation temperature of blood of a healthy subject 6, 7 and the BPR of the patient exceeds the CPR for nanoscale Sanal flow choking [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] . Note that blood vessels in the brain circulatory system with sudden expansion, divergence or bifurcation regions without any apparent occlusions (see Fig. 1d -f) are more prone to hemorrhagic-stroke due to the Sanal-flow-choking at a critical BPR, which is regulated by the biofluid/blood heat capacity ratio (BHCR). Therefore, the accurate estimation of the 3D-BLB factor is inevitable for the verification of the data generated through high-fidelity in silico, in vitro and in vivo animal experiments for designing the precise patient specific blood-thinning regimen, which is vital for attaining the desired therapeutic efficacy and negating undesirable flow-choking in CVS which leads to diverse neurological-disorders and asymptomatic cardiovascular-diseases of various subjects with and without history of illness. Although mathematical modeling and the high-fidelity in silico simulation of physics of noncontinuum/nanofluid flow have been progressed substantially over the last few decades there are numerous unanswered research questions in real-world fluid flows 5, 9, 16, 17 for a plausible judgment on the biological and space systems design (see Fig. 1a -g). Such problems of paramount interest are chiefly for performing in silico and in vitro experiments for the design optimization of nanoscale aerospace propulsion devices and in vivo animal model experiments for drug discovery. Therefore, it is inevitable for capturing flow physics of high-pressure composite creeping fluid flow passing through a convergent-divergent (CD) duct, facilitated with a nanoscale throat with microscale length (Fig. 1b) featuring both the continuum and non-continuum fluid flow properties. Figure 1f is demonstrating the possibilities of the occurrence of the nanoscale Sanal flow choking phenomenon at a critical blood pressure ratio due to seasonal variations in a cerebral artery with bifurcation and without any plaque.

Nanofluid flow is a blend of nano-sized particles in a traditional operating fluid [23] [24] [25] 27 , which obeys all the conservation laws of nature. The occurrence of slip in gas flows, due to the local thermodynamic non-equilibrium, was originally reported by Maxwell 28, 29 and its scale varies on the extent of rarefaction of the gas. It describes in terms of the Knudsen number (Kn), which gives an explicit clue of the type of flow, viz., the continuum or non-continuum. Note that numerous modeling efforts have been reported in the open literature for nanoscale flow simulation without authentic code verification using any benchmark data and/or any closed-form analytical solution [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] . The fact is that generating benchmark data for compressible viscous flow from the nanoscale system is a challenging task or quite impractical by using conventional in vitro methods and/or in vivo animal models. And it is anticipated that the classical assumptions on the hydrodynamic model will ride into hitches as the composite flow system reaches nanometer (nm) size 19 , and their collaborators 57-62 put considerable efforts for modeling the entropy generation with constant density in creeping nanofluid and ferrofluid flow with slip condition. Entropy optimized Darcy-Forchheimer flow with magnetohydrodynamic over a stretched surface 59 , influences of skin friction coefficient 47 , stagnation point flow of a viscoelastic nanofluid towards a stretching surface with nonlinear radiative effects 58 , and the influence of carbon nanotubes in the Marangoni convection boundary layer flow of the viscous fluid were considered in their studies 46 . All these studies 42-62 would be useful for in silico simulation of creeping incompressible nanofluid flows. The authors can extend their modeling efforts by incorporating the compressibility effect for reaching the physical situation of nanoscale Sanal flow choking for solving the real-world fluid flow problems with credibility. Obviously, due to the lack of universal benchmark data for an authentic verification of the in silico results, the conclusions drawn using sophisticated models, by various investigators across the globe, viz., direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), molecular dynamics (MD), Burnett equation, and the hydrodynamic models, will not be endorsed by the high precision industries for the highly expensive nanoscale aerospace systems design for practical applications. Admittedly, an exact prediction of the BLB factor is inevitable for in silico, in vitro and in vivo flow choking experiments and data verification for drug discovery. Note that nanoscale drug delivery devices can be tailored for site-specific therapeutic activity [36] [37] [38] .

Cooper et al. 31 reported that in vitro data well matched with the predicted results using the hydrodynamic Navier Stokes method with the first-order slip condition for the range of average pore diameters from 169-220 nm. Singh and Myong 63 reported that neither continuum models nor free-molecular models could be invoked for fluid flow cases when the Knudsen number falls in the intermediate range between the continuum (Kn ≤ 0.01) and free-molecular flow regimes (Kn ≥ 10). When the Knudsen number becomes large (Kn > 0.01), the conventional assumptions of no-slip boundary condition, thermodynamic equilibrium, and linear stress-strain relationship fail. When the pressure of the nanofluid rises, the average-mean-free-path diminishes and thus, the Knudsen number lowers heading to a zero-slip wall-boundary condition with the compressible viscous flow regime creating streamline pattern in the nanoscale fluid flow system. Therefore, the Sanal flow choking and supersonic flow development leading to the shock-wave generation due to the sonic-fluid-throat effect at the zero-slip-length is a valid physical situation in the real-world fluid flows where CD shaped nanoscale streamtubes persists (Fig. 1a) . Therefore, estimating the 3D BLB factor in a nanotube corresponding to the working fluid is inevitable for nanoscale systems design lucratively.

Holland et al. 64 reported (2015) that the time dependent mass flow rate predicted using their enhanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation matches well with full molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and highlighted that the traditional CFD results of such cases are incompetent. Of late (2020), Zhao et al. 65 reported that the soundness of the traditional theories at the microscale and nanoscale has been taken into question. Authors reported that the thermal fluctuations are spontaneously occurring within molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The study conclusions of the previous researchers [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] lead to say that in real-world scientific experiments of complex nano-microscale systems the robustness of in silico model needs to be tested by featuring the actual fluid characteristics in a non-trivial geometry at the nanoscale. Singh Analytical methodology. The nanoscale Sanal flow choking occurs in real-world flows at a critical totalto-static pressure ratio irrespective of the boundary layer blockage in the nanotube. Figure 2 shows the physical situation of nanoscale Sanal flow choking in an idealized physical model of a cylindrical nanotube with a divergent duct similar to an artery with the bifurcation region. Sanal flow choking 3-5 is a compressible viscous flow effect, which occurs in any duct with uniform port geometry, due to the boundary layer blockage persuaded internal flow choking at a critical-total-to-static pressure ratio (CPR), as all real-world-fluids experience the Sanal flow choking phenomenon 5 . The CPR for flow choking (Eq. 1) 1 of composite fluids would vary based on the lowest heat capacity ratio (HCR) of the evolved species at the constriction region (fluid-throat) of the streamtube (Fig. 1a ) or the nanoscale tube (Fig. 2) . Note that the molecular dynamic condition in the composite fluid flow system could alter streamline-pattern at different time and location. Therefore, pinpointing the exact location of streamtube flow choking (Fig. 1a) at the Sanal flow choking condition is a challenging in vitro and in silico topic of great interest to the nano-microscale system designers, which is beyond the scope of this article. Herein, the 3D-BLB factor derived for an internal flow system with the cylindrical upstream-duct for adiabatic fluid flow systems 4 is translated for the diabatic nanoscale flow system after invoking the law of conservation of mass 4, 69 . Using the classical mathematical methodology Eqs. (2a) and (2b) are derived for a cylindrical nanotube. Equation (2a) represents the non-dimensional 3D BLB factor for unchoked flow condition in a nanotube. Equation (2b) shows the closed-form analytical model for predicting the 3D BLB factor at the nanoscale Sanal flow choking condition. www.nature.com/scientificreports/ Equation (3) is derived using Eq. (1) and the thermal choking 8 (Rayleigh flow effect 69 ) condition. It gives the desirable inflow condition in terms of Mach number for achieving Sanal flow choking in a nanoscale diabatic fluid flow system, which is regulated by the material property viz., HCR (γ). The solution curve of Eq. (3) is presented as Fig. 3a . Note that the chances of Sanal flow choking increases when the specific heat ratio (γ) of gases decreases due to the decreases in CPR of the nanoscale flow system as dictated by Eq. (1). Equation (2a) gives the exact solution of the 3D-BLB factor along the axial direction of the cylindrical nanotube, provided the local axial Mach number (M axial ) is known. Note that M axial alters due to the flow turbulence and as on today there is no closed-form analytical solution for predicting M axial at the unchoked fluid flow condition, which is a challenging research topic. Note that Eq. (2b) provides an exact solution of the 3D-BLB factor at the sonic-fluidthroat (M axial = 1) with molecular precision at the condition prescribed by the Sanal-flow-choking for diabatic fluid flows. The data generated using Eq. (2b) can be taken as an authorized benchmark data for the verification of the results generated from in vitro, in silico and in vivo experiments of real-world nanoscale fluid flow problems. Note that in the multispecies-choked-nanoscale internal fluid flow system, the highest 3D-BLB factor created at the sonic-fluid-throat (Eq. 2b) will be contributed by the species with the highest HCR. The 3D-BLB factor is a very useful benchmark data for nanoscale in vitro experiments and in silico model verification, validation and calibration with credibility, which was an unresolved problem over centuries. The corresponding non-dimensional blockage factor for the two-dimensional 4 case is also given in Table 1 

It is apparent from Fig. 3d that the change in entropy is obtained as zero at M 1 = M 2 = 1, which is validating the capability of the model for meeting the Sanal flow choking condition for the nanoscale fluid flow systems for benchmarking the data reported in Table 1 . It could be taken as the authenticated data for elucidating high fidelity wall-bounded nanoscale fluid flow problems in various industrial applications. The CPR value given in Table 1 is an indication of the lower critical detonation index (LCDI) of chemical systems and the lower critical hemorrhage index (LCHI) of biological systems having accumulated with such types of gases. The LCDI presented in Table 1 is a powerful indicator of knowing the detonation index of nanoscale chemical energy systems with sudden expansion or divergent port for prohibiting the catastrophic failures due to the Sanal flow choking and/ or streamtube flow choking (Fig. 1a,g) . Similarly, the LCHI gives the indication of asymptomatic cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. It implies that high systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) are risk factors, which contribute for increasing the BPR leading to an undesirable flow choking. Therefore, for reducing the risk of Sanal flow choking either increase BHCR and/or decrease BPR through drugs or health care management.

It is important to note that, at the sonic-fluid-throat of any wall-bounded real-world flows, all the three flow choking conditions, viz., Sanal flow choking [3] [4] [5] , Rayleigh flow choking 69 and Fanno flow choking 69 converges due to the prudent inflow condition (Eq. 3) set herein for generating benchmark data for nanoscale fluid flow systems. It is pertinent to note that the magnitude of the entropy of these three flow choking models are different at the sonic condition. The novelty of the closed-form analytical model presented herein stem from the veracity that at the Sanal flow choking condition for diabatic nanoflows, all conservation laws of nature are satisfied in the unique sonic-fluid-throat location. In this article mathematical models are presented for establishing the causes and effects of the Sanal flow choking in an internal nanoscale fluid flow system with sudden expansion or divergent region.

While performing the in silico model verification and calibration, the average friction coefficient must be chosen in accordance with the Fanno flow choking condition 4, 69 . Admittedly, at the sonic-fluid-throat of the nanoscale fluid flow system (Fig. 2) , the thermal choking and the wall-friction persuaded flow choking converge and satisfy all the conservation laws of nature. In the in silico study the average friction coefficient ( f ) may be estimated from Eq. (5) based on the lowest HCR (γ lowest ) of the evolving gases for satisfying the condition set for the Sanal flow choking for real-world multiphase, multi-species nanoscale fluid-flow systems 4 .

where f is an average friction coefficient 4,69 termed as Eq. (6), Fig. 3f in the semi-log plot. Note that, though the 3D-BLB factor is relatively less for cases with the low HCR, the dominant species with the lowest HCR predisposes for an early Sanal flow choking due to the low CPR at the sudden expansion or transition region of any internal nanoscale fluid flow system (Fig. 2) . Note that Eqs. (1)-(6) are useful mathematical models for the high-performance aerospace chemical systems architects for predicting the limiting condition of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) in micro-nanoscale hybrid thrusters (see Fig. 1g ) with confidence. Further discussion pertaining to the nanoscale chemical system design is beyond the scope of this article. This study is set for predicting the universal benchmark data, in terms of 3D BLB factor, at the Sanal flow choking condition for in silico, in vitro and in vivo experiments in nanoscale fluid flow systems for various applications. Table (Table 1) gives the exact values of the non-dimensional 3D-BLB factor at the Sanal flow choking condition of ten different working gases and the corresponding CPR and inlet Mach number. It is pertinent to state that, as seen in Table 1 , the three-dimensional blockage factor is always lower than the twodimensional blockage factor of any wall-bounded nanoscale fluid flow system at the Sanal flow choking condition. The average friction coefficient given in Table 2 (the solution of Eq. (5)) for different gases are the authenticated benchmark data generated from the closed-form analytical models for conducting in silico experiments at creeping inflow conditions (M i < 0.3) with credibility.

Note that the nanoscale biological fluid flow system must always maintain the flow Mach number less than one as dictated by Eq. (7) for prohibiting asymptomatic cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders due to Sanal flow choking. Equation (7a)-(7c) is the corollary of the Eq. (7) set for negating the undesirable Sanal flow choking and streamtube flow choking causing shock wave generation and pressure-overshoot. These equations Eq. (7a)-(7c) are useful for deciding the thermophysical properties of nanomaterials and the corresponding base fluid for various nanoscale system design and developments, drug discovery and its applications.

The self-explanatory equations Eq. (7a)-(7c), derived from the compressible flow theory 69 , are highlighted herein for demonstrating the various influencing parameters and the conflicting requirements to prohibit the Sanal flow choking in the nanoscale fluid flow system. Equation (7a) reveals that a disproportionate increase of the thermal conductivity of nanofluid increases the risk of Sanal flow choking leading to supersonic flow development followed by shock wave and pressure-overshoot in the nanoscale flow systems with sudden expansion or divergent region (Fig. 1a-g) . Therefore, the condition set by Eq. (7a) must be satisfied while adding nanomaterials in the base fluid for reducing the risk of catastrophic failure of nanoscale systems. Admittedly, in vitro parametric studies of nano scale aerospace propulsion systems in gravity and micro gravity conditions must be carried out with caution because, as disclosed by the closed-form analytical models, relatively high and low fluid viscosity are risk factors for the Sanal flow choking 13 . Note that a significant decrease of fluid viscosity increases Reynolds number and turbulence level leading to an early Sanal flow choking due to the enhanced BLB factor. Viscosity variations are depending on the shear rate or shear rate history of the fluid, which could vary due to the variations in the thermophysical properties of nanomaterials and local effects too. It is important to note that while adding nanometer-sized materials to the base fluid the HCR of the nanofluid should not decrease. It aims for negating the undesirable Sanal flow choking phenomenon as it generates shock waves and inherent pressure-overshoot, which could alter the thermoviscoelastic properties of the vessel wall.

Note that in a vascular system the boundary layer induced flow choking leads to the shock-wave generation and pressure-overshoot leading to memory effect, aneurysm, and hemorrhagic stroke as the case may be. This is a grey area in nano medicine 7, 70 , which needs to be examined in detail through fluid-structural interactive www.nature.com/scientificreports/ multiphase, multispecies models, which is beyond the scope of this article. The Sanal flow choking for the diabatic condition presented herein is valid for all the real-world fluid flow problems for designing various nanoscale fluid flow systems and sub systems due to the fact that the model is untied from empiricism and any types of errors of discretization. Using Eqs. (1) and (2) the chemical propulsion system designers could easily predict the likelihoods of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) 15 with the given inlet flow Mach number and the lowest value of the HCR of the leading gas coming from the upstream port of the chemical system 15 . In a nutshell, the best choice of increasing the solid fuel loading in the nanoscale thruster design without inviting any undesirable detonation and catastrophic failures, is to increase the HCR of the working fluid. Further discussion on the nanoscale propulsion system design is beyond the scope of this article.

We have established herein that, due to the evolving boundary layer and the corresponding area blockage in the upstream port of any internal nanofluid flow system with sudden expansion or divergent region, the creeping diabatic nanoflow (M i < < 1) originated from the upstream port of the system could accelerate to the supersonic flow leading to an undesirable phenomenon of pressure-overshoot due to shock wave generation as a result of the Sanal flow choking. Through the proposed mathematical methodology, we could disprove the general belief of the impossibilities of internal flow choking in such real-world nanoscale fluid flow systems at the creeping inflow conditions. There was a general belief in the scientific community over the centuries that the subsonic/ creeping flow would not be augmented up to supersonic flow without passing through a geometric throat, which we have disproved herein through the closed-form analytical model. Note that if the total-to-static pressure ratio at the fluid-throat is lower than the LCDI the detonation would not occur even if the blockage factor is relatively high in nanoscale fluid flow systems. The physical insight of the nanoscale Sanal flow choking and streamtube flow choking 14 presented in this article sheds light on finding solutions to numerous unresolved scientific problems carried forward over the centuries. We concluded that the 3D-boundary-layer-blockage factors presented herein are universal-benchmark-data for performing high-fidelity in silico, in vitro and in vivo experiments in nanotubes with different working fluids with credibility. Briefly, discovery of nanoscale Sanal flow choking and streamtube flow choking in real-world flow offers disruptive technologies at the cutting edge to resolve centurylong unresolved problems in physical, chemical and biological sciences.
