Abstract This attempt addresses the simultaneous characteristics of thermal radiation and melting heat transfer effects in stagnation point flow of carbon nanotubes due to a stretching cylinder. Velocity slip phenomenon is also retained. Two types of carbon nanotubes (single and multi-walls) are homogeneously dispersed in the base fluid (water). The governing physical problem is modeled and converted into set of coupled nonlinear ODE’s utilizing transformations. Resulting problems are computed numerically by fifth order Range–Kutta Fehlberg scheme. The physical characteristics of various variables on the velocity and thermal fields are examined. Numerical data for skin friction and Nusselt number have been prepared and deliberated. It is explored that velocity is increased for larger ratio of rate constants. The increasing values of melting parameter correspond to higher velocity and less temperature. Besides this the accuracy of present results is also affirmed. It is noted that the computed numerical solutions have excellent match with previous published materials in a limiting sense.
