摘      要：The laminar fully developed nanofluid flow and heat transfer in a horizonal channel are investigated. Highly accurate solutions for the temperature and nanopavticle concentration distributions are obtained. The effects of the Brownian motion parameter Nb, the thermophoresis parameter Nt, and the Lewis number Le on the temperature and nanoparticle concentration distributions are discussed. The current analysis shows that the nanoparticles can improve the heat transfer characteristics significantly for this flow problem.
