In this paper, an analysis is carried out for the similarity solution of the steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a Casson nanofluid flowing over a vertical cylinder which is stretching exponentially along its radial direction. Using boundary layer approach and suitable similarity transformation the governing partial differential equations with the boundary conditions are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting system is solved with the help of numerical technique, the Runge–Kutta Fehlberg method. The effects of important parameters such as Reynolds number, Prandtl number, Lewis number and the natural convection parameter are described through graphs.
