AbstractThis research examines the thermal radiation effects on the steady flow of Maxwell fluid over a nonisothermal stretched surface. An incompressible fluid fills the semi-infinite porous medium. The thermal conductivity is taken in a time-dependent fashion. Boundary layer approximations are used for the momentum and energy equations. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by employing a similarity transformation. The solutions of velocity and temperature are presented by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The variations of various interesting embedded parameters of velocity and temperature are displayed and discussed. The values of the local Nusselt number have been compared to the existing numerical solution in a limited sense.
