A mathematical model is presented to steady the Casson's fluid through an inclined tube of non-uniform crosssection with multiple stenoses. The effects of various parameters on flow variables have been studied. The graphical representations have been made to validate the analytical findings with a view of its applicability to stenotic diseases. It is found that the flow of resistance increases with the height of the stenosis but decreases with the angle of inclination. It is also observed that the resistance to flow increases as viscosity of blood increases. The present study may be helpful for better understanding the flow characteristics of blood having multiple stenoses.
