Steady magnetohydrodynamic flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid through a pipe of circular cross-section is studied by considering Hall and ionic effects. The fluid motion is due to a constant pressure gradient, and an external uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the flow direction is applied. Expressions for the velocity, microrotation, skin friction and flow rate are obtained. The effects of the micropolar parameter, magnetic parameter, Hall parameter and ion-slip parameter on the velocity, microrotation, skin friction and flow rate are discussed.
