Abstract: In this paper we studied Non-Darcy convective heat and mass transfer of Tio2-water nanofluids in an annular region between two concentric cylinders whose walls are maintained at constant temperature and concentration. The non-linear governing equations have been solved using Galerkine finite element analysis with quadratic approximation polynomials. The velocity, temperature and concentration are analyzed for different values of G, D-1, α, Sc, and . The rate of heat transfer and Skin friction at the boundaries have evaluated for different variations.
