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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
