After presenting the idea of applying nanotechnology and novel properties of materials at the nanometer scale, this technology will spread to all areas of science and industry rapidly. With the advent of nanofluids concept many attempts has been made for the development of this technology to improve the heat transfer. Given the importance of the mass transfer phenomena in various industries, the expansion of research in this area seems necessary. Many studies report an improvement in the rate of mass transfer in fluids containing nanoparticles but no credible mechanism or public relations exist to describe the mass transport phenomena in nanofluids. In this study suggested equations based on heat and mass analogy was used and compared with the results of available experimental data in the literature. Finally the non-linear regression conducted for the Sherwwood number as a function of Re, Sc and particle volume fraction and the results clearly show that a good consistency exist between the model and experimental results
