Heat transfer analysis for the spinning vertical cone with a prescribed surface temperature was investigated. The influence of magnetic parameter, spin parameter, and nanoparticle volume fraction on tangential velocity profile, spin velocity profile, and thermal profile is analyzed. The results accord strongly with the findings of previous research works in the special cases. Computation shows that as magnetic parameter increases, the thicknesses of hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layers decrease and increase, respectively. The addition of nanoparticles (<inline-formula id="inf4"><mml:math id="m4" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>A</mml:mi><mml:mi>l</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub><mml:msub><mml:mi>O</mml:mi><mml:mn>3</mml:mn></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula id="inf5"><mml:math id="m5" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="italic">F</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="italic">e</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mn>3</mml:mn></mml:msub><mml:msub><mml:mi mathvariant="italic">O</mml:mi><mml:mn>4</mml:mn></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula>) effectively enhances the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number.</p>
