An analysis was made to study the effects of non-uniform heat source or sink and aligned magnetic field effect on boundary layer flow of carbon nanofluid past a stretching cylinder with melting heat transfer and radiation. The Prandtl boundary layer equations are transformed into highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations utilizing similarity variables. The final resolved system is explained with shooting method. The upshots of governing factors on the velocity, temperature, surface skin friction and rate of heat transfer are discoursed with the help of graphs. MWCNT performance is better than SWCNT in case of fluid flow. SWCNTs transfers more heat from the fluid rather than multi wall tubes.Comparison of our numerical results with available literature works and shown a good agreement.
