The influence of the melting heat on the hydromagnetic convective Cu–H2O nanofluid flow over a stretching plate was investigated. The effects of viscous dissipation and Joule heating, involved in the energy equation, were considered. The primary equations were reduced to the ordinary differential equations with the use of suitable similarity transforms. The reduced equations were solved using the shooting technique by the fourth-order Runge– Kutta scheme. A detailed investigation is exemplified by diagrams and tables for various values of opposite factors. The results of calculations were compared with the corresponding literature data obtained for specific situations.
