ABSTRACT = {The present paper deals with the analysis of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid over a stretching circular cylinder in the presence of 
non-uniform heat source/sink. The governing system of partial differential equations is converted to ordinary differential equations by using 
similarity transformations, which are then solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with shooting technique. The solutions for 
the temperature and nanoparticle concentration distributions depend on six parameters, Prandtl number <i>Pr</i>, Lewis number <i>Le</i>, the Brownian motion 
parameter <i>Nb</i>, the thermophoresis parameter Nt, and non-uniform heat generation/absorption parameters <i>A</i>*, <i>B</i>*. Numerical results are presented both 
in tabular and graphical forms for 0.7 ≤ <i>Pr</i> ≤10, 1 ≤ <i>Le</i> ≤ 30, 0.1 ≤ <i>Nb</i> ≤ 0.5, and 0.1 ≤ <i>Nt</i> ≤ 0.5 illustrating the effects of these parameters on thermal 
and concentration boundary layers. The results reveal that increasing the value of non-uniform heat generation/absorption parameter leads to 
deterioration in heat transfer rates at the stretching cylinder wall. However, it is found that increasing the value of non-uniform heat
generation/absorption parameters results in enhancement the reduced Sherwood number. Moreover, for fixed <i>Pr</i> and <i>Le</i>, the reduced Nusselt number 
decreases but the reduced Sherwood number increases as the Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects become stronger.},
