%X In this article, we have discussed the effect of external magnetic field and other governing parameters on the flow and heat transfer in the presence of suspended carbon nanotubes over a flat plate. The governing equations of flow and heat transfer are derived from the Navier¨CStokes and Prandtl boundary layer concept. The derived governing equations of flow and energy are non-linear partial differential equation, and these equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations with corresponding boundary conditions using some suitable similarity transformations and are solved numerically using fourth-order Runge¨CKutta method with efficient shooting technique. Effects of governing parameters on flow and heat transfer are shown through various graphs and explained with physical interpretation in detail. This study has applications in glass-fiber production and technology. On observing the results of this study, we can conclude that external magnetic field shows opposite behaviors on velocity and temperature and it enhances the rate of heat transfer
