Abstract
This article analyzes the effects of Hall and ion-slip parameters on mixed convective electrically conducting nanofluid flow between two parallel concentric cylinders considering magnetic field. The governing equations are non dimensionalized. The resulting system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved utilizing homotopy analysis method. The influence of the magnetic parameter, Hall, ion-slip, Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters on non-dimensional velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction is analyzed and represented graphically. It is found that increasing Hall and ion-slip parameters decrease the temperature but increase the velocity and nanoparticle volume fraction and the opposite trend observed when magnetic parameter increased. It is observed that as Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters increase, the velocity and temperature increase but the nanoparticle volume fraction decreases.
