Main core part of the research is to develop a novel mathematical model of MHD-Maxwell nanofluid over a stretching and shrinking surface. The stretching ratio, velocity slip and convective boundary conditions are also incorporated. The PDE's with associative boundary conditions are deduced into coupled highly non-linear ODE's by utilizing suitable transformations. The deduced dimensionless sets of Ordinary differential equations are solved by Optimal-Homotopy Analysis Method (OHAM). Behavior of pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields as well as important aspects skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are recorded in Table 2. Outcomes declared that role of stretching ratio plays a prominent role in stretching surfaces its clearly recorded in Table 1(a & b). [Display omitted] •Here we consider a three-dimensional, steady boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous Maxwell fluid by elastic surfaces which are subject to zero mass flux nanoparticle concentration.•The uniform magnetic flux B0 is acting along y-axis and let the rotating fluid has the constant angular velocity Ω.•The flow behavior is examined over a elastic surfaces.•OHAM method is implemented for investigation of ODEs.
