In this paper, Differential Transformation Method (DTM) is applied on governing equations of heat and fluid flow for
a nanofluid over a horizontal flat plate. After obtaining the governing equations and solving them by DTM, the accuracy of
results is examined by fourth order Runge-kutta numerical method. Due to infinite boundary condition for the stretching plate,
outcomes need to an improvement method to be converged. For this aim, Pad´e approximation is applied on the obtained results
which [10,10] Pad´e order had the best accuracy compared to numerical method. The influence of relevant parameters such
as the transpiration parameter on temperature and nanoparticle concentration profile is discussed and it is concluded that by
increasing this parameter, nanoparticles concentration over the plate decrease due to more fluid penetration from pores and this
is the main reason of lower thermal boundary layer caused by fewer nanoparticles over the plate.
