Effect of magnetic fields on heat convection inside a concentric annulus filled with nanofluid

What is it about?

In the current study, forced convective heat transfer of an MHD fully developed laminar nanofluid between two concentric horizontal cylinders is investigated in the presence of a radial magnetic field. In contrast to a conventional no-slip condition at the surfaces, the Navier’s slip condition is considered at the surface to represent the non-equilibrium region near the surfaces.

Why is it important?

To consider the effects of thermal boundary condition on nanoparticle migration, two distinctive cases including constant heat flux at the outer wall and adiabatic inner wall (Case A) and constant heat flux at the inner wall with adiabatic outer wall (Case B) have been considered.
