The three-dimensional (3D) boundary layer flow of Jeffrey nanofluid subject to the convective boundary condition is analyzed. The flow is induced by a bidirectional stretching surface. Effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are considered. Newly developed boundary condition with the zero nanoparticles mass flux is employed. Mathematical modeling is made under boundary layer approach. Similarity variables are used to convert the governing partial differential equations into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations have been solved for the velocities, temperature, and nanoparticles concentration. Graphs are plotted to examine the influence of various physical parameters on the dimensionless temperature and nanoparticles concentration distributions. Numerical values of local Nusselt number are tabulated and discussed. It is found that the effects of the Biot number on the temperature and nanoparticles concentration are quite similar. Both the temperature and nanoparticles concentration are enhanced for the larger values of Biot number.
