Heat and mass transfer of two-layer flows of third-grade nano-fluids in a vertical channel

作者：

Highlights：

• The two-layer boundary-layer flows of non-Newtonian nano-fluid are solved analytically.

• A easy-to-use Mathematica package BVPh 2.0 is used to solve the corresponding coupled nonlinear ODEs.

• The influence of physical parameters on the considered flows is investigated in details.
