Symmetry Group Analysis of the Unsteady Heat Transfer of Spherical Nanoparticles at a Small Reynolds Number Value

The problem of unsteady heat transfer between the gaseous and solid phases in two-phase flows with solid nanoparticles is considered. Based on a symmetry analysis, a solution to the unsteady heat conduction equation in spherical coordinates is obtained. Dependencies for the temperature profile and the Nusselt number are derived. The time-dependent change in the Nusselt number during the interaction between the solid particle and the surrounding medium is demonstrated.
