Abstract
The main intention of this study is to explore Maxwell fluid under the influence of thermophoresis and buoyancy forces induced by exponentially
stretching sheet under chemical reaction. Cattaneo –Christov heat flux model is used to explore heat and mass characteristics with variable magnetic
field, and chemical reaction. Variables of similarity were induced to transmute partial differential equations into dimensionless equations and are
resolved numerically by elegant method bvp 4c. Behavior of various critical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentrations is graphically
presented and discussed. Non Newtonian nature of the Maxwell fluid is clearly explored by the Maxwell parameter, it was found that for higher values
of Maxwell parameter velocity profiles decreases. Thermal and solutal buoyancy forces acts in favor to velocity and thermophorotic parameter acts
against concentration. Impact of Skin friction, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers on the flow configurations for diverse critical parameters are exposed
realistically via graphs. Arithmetical results that obtained in the current exploration are confirmed with previously explored values in very marginal
way.
