ABSTRACT: The analysis of nanofluids in the solar thermal system is very fascinating owing to its important engineering applications (i.e., solar collectors). Aside from these the non-Newtonian boundary layer fluid flow has experienced considerable attention due to uprising engineering applications in the solar thermal field. This work investigates the analysis of chemically reactive hydromagnetic Maxwell fluid conveying tiny particles due to Navier partial slip. The governing equations that model the transport phenomena were transformed using suitable similarity variables. The boundary value problem of the corresponding coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations was solved numerically using the shooting technique together with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme and in-built bvp4c package of MATLAB. The effects of various controlling parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions were presented graphically and studied theoretically. Furthermore, the study reveals that the Navier slip parameter (δ) increases as the velocity distribution decreases, while it enhances both the temperature and concentration distributions, increase in the radiation parameter (Nr) enhances the temperature distribution, and the chemical reaction (γ) increment leads to decrease in concentration distribution.
