%X This paper presents the study of unsteady nanofluids flow and heat transfer past a wedge with second order velocity slip and temperature jump. The model is modified by considering the existence of a nanolayer together with the effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. The fundamental equations were transformed into ordinary differential equations by a new set of similarity transformations and solved by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). We determined that the error reached 10-6 and the effectiveness of HAM was attained. The influence of second-order slip on the fluid skin-friction coefficient was analyzed and we determined that the Nusselt number decreases and skin friction coefficient rises with an increase in the thickness of the nanolayer
