In this paper, we examine the convective flow and heat transfer of an incompressible viscous nanofluid past a
semi-infinite vertical stretching sheet in the presence of a magnetic field. The governing partial differential
equations with the auxiliary conditions are reduced to ordinary differential equations with the appropriate
corresponding conditions via scaling transformations. The analytical solutions of the resulting ODEs are
obtained, and from which the analytical solutions of the original problem are presented. The influence of
pertinent parameters such as the magnetic parameter, the solid volume fraction of nanoparticles and the type
of nanofluid on the flow, heat transfer, Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient is discussed. Comparison
with published results is presented
