Abstract
In the present work, an interesting and simple analytic solution to wall jet flow of nanofluids is presented. The concept of exponentially decaying wall jet flows (those the integral constraint proposed by Glauert is retained) is targeted. A general scheme for momentum similarity equation is considered in which the effects of suction together with moving wall are allowed. A parametric two-phase modeling framework is brought into account to study the wall jet flow of nanofluids. The only simplification is with respect to thermophoresis effect elimination which in particular reveals some facts regarding the effectiveness of boundary conditions for particle transport equation. In this regard, a brief discussion is initially provided as may be of help to a better understanding of the nanoparticles behavior at the wall. Finally, closed form analytic expressions are obtained for heat and mass transfer characteristics of wall jet flow of nanofluids. It is hopeful that the rate of heat and mass transfer as well as temperature and concentration distributions can be better understood by means of the presented formulae.
