Abstract: 

In this study, we have investigated the radiative boundary-layer flow for MHD Maxwell fluid embedded in a permeable channel. We have considered the various physically effect on fluid flow problem such as non-linear chemical reaction, heat source, thermal radiation, porous medium and thermophoretic effects. The nonlinear PDEs are converted into ODEs. The non-dimensional ODEs equations are solved numerically using the bvp4c solver. The impacts of the pertinent parameters such as Re, De, Kn, Q, R τ1 and M are depicted through graphically in suction/injection cases. Increasing magnetic field parameter causes rise in thermal boundary layer profiles and exactly reverse effect have been observed for the concentration profile.
