AB - In the present study, 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 are investigated. The governing  partial differential equations with the auxiliary conditions are reduced to  ordinary differential equations with the appropriate corresponding conditions  via scaling transformations. The semi-analytical solutions of the resulting  ordinary differential equations are obtained using differential  transformation method coupled with Pade approximation. Comparison with  published results is presented which reveals that the applied method is  sufficiently accurate for engineering applications.
