AB - The advancement of nanofluid technology has become an essential tool for  investigating thermal conductivity enhancement, which is highly valuable  for industrial and engineering applications in many fields including  mathematics, physics, engineering, and materials science. This analysis  focuses on 3-D boundary-layer flow on nanofluid over a rotating disk by  incorporating chemical reaction and thermal radiations effects. One aim of  this article is to analyze the energy and mass transport rates for  nanofluids. In this study, the Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts  are considered. The governing flow equations are converted to ODE via  suitable similarity transformations. The resulting equations were solved via  well know technique Keller box method. This analysis revealed that the  azimuthal and axial velocities show an inverse pattern against the various  values of index factor, n, although the radial velocity has the highest  value and decreases significantly. The behavior of the von Karman flow is  also recovered for setting the index factor (n = 1). Moreover, it is found  that the temperature of nano liquid increases by increasing the Brownian  motion and thermophoretic factors.
