The natural convection boundary layer flow along a vertical cone with variable wall temperature under the presence of magnetohydrodynamics is investigated. The mathematical model based on nanolayer single and multi-wall carbon nanotubes in saltwater solutions and interfacial layers is considered. The nonlinear partial differential equations are analytically solved by means of Mathematica package BVPh 2.0 based on the homotopy analysis method. Flow behavior under altering involving physical parameters such as: Eckert number, Prandtl number, power law index, and nanoparticle volume fraction on the velocity and the temperature profiles is discussed and explained through graphs and tables. The values of Skin friction and Nusselt number are computed and examined.
