Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : The problem of boundary layer flow and heat transfer induced due to nanofluid over a vertical plate is investigated. The transport equations employed in the analysis include the effect of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. We used a convective heating boundary condition instead of a widely employed thermal conduction of constant temperature or constant heat flux. The solution for the temperature and nanoparticle concentration depends on six parameters, viz., convective heating parameter A, Prandtl number Pr, Lewis number Le, Brownian motion Nb, buoyancy ratio parameter Nr, and the thermophoresis parameter Nt. Similarity transformation is used to convert the governing nonlinear boundary-layer equations into coupled higher order ordinary differential equations. These equations were solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order method with shooting technique. The effects of the governing parameters on flow field and heat transfer characteristics were obtained and discussed. Numerical results are obtained for velocity, temperature, and concentration distribution as well as the local Nusselt number and Sherwood number. It is found that the local Nusselt number and Sherwood number increase with an increase in convective parameter A and Lewis number Le. Likewise, the local Sherwood number increases with an increase in both A and Le. A comparison with the previous study available in literature has been done and we found an excellent agreement with them.
