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 Pr, Lewis number Le, the Brownian motion
parameter Nb, the thermophoresis parameter Nt, and non-uniform heat generation/absorption parameters A*, B*. Numerical results are presented both
