In this study, the effects of magnetic field on nanofluid flow, heat, and mass transfer between two horizontal coaxial cylinders are studied using a two-phase model. The effect of viscous dissipation is also taken into account. By using the appropriate transformation for the velocity, temperature, and concentration, the basic equations governing the flow, heat, and mass transfer are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations. These equations subject to the associated boundary conditions are solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The effects of Hartmann number, Reynolds number, Schmidt number, Brownian parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Eckert number, and aspect ratio on flow, heat, and mass transfer are examined. Results show that the Nusselt number has a direct relationship with the aspect ratio and Hartmann number but it has a reverse relationship with the Reynolds number, Schmidt number, Brownian parameter, thermophoresis parameter, and Eckert number.
Nanofluid flow between two circular cylinders is studied in existence of magnetic field. KKL model is applied for nanofluid. Thermal radiation effect has been considered in energy equation. AGM is selected for solving ODEs. Semi analytical procedures are examined for various active parameters namely; aspect ratio, Hartmann number, Eckert number and Reynolds number. Results indicate that temperature gradient enhances with rise of Ha, Ec and η but it reduces with augment of Re. Velocity reduces with rise of Lorentz forces but it augments with rise of Reynolds number.
