This paper examines the power-law nanofluid flows due to a shrinking sheet with mass transpiration under inclined MHD. The governing partial differential equations are similarly transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and solved analytically. The mathematical model through analytical solutions graphically shows that the flow's dynamics depending on the Chandraselhar number, mass transpiration, nanofluid and inclined angle parameters. The main findings and methods of the present work includes the closed-form exact solutions are examined for some special cases and one of them is an algebraic solution. Specific and quantitative analytical solutions provide important understanding to the boundary layer flow for power-law nanofluid. The present study reveals that the magnetic field significantly increases the magnitude of the skin friction and mass transpiration. Cu-H2O nanofluid is used to examine the entaire calculation. Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in fluids that show significant enhancement of their properties at modest nanoparticle concentration.
