Purpose

– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the two-dimensional flow of Maxwell fluid with power law heat flux and heat source over a stretched surface.

Design/methodology/approach

– The governing partial differential equations are reduced into ordinary differential equations by applying similarity transformations. Series solutions of velocity and temperature are found by adopting homotopy analysis method (HAM).

Findings

– It is found that the velocity decreases by increasing Deborah number and suction parameter. It is also observed that the heat generation parameter leads to a decrease in temperature. Furthermore, the numerical values of local Nusselt number decreased with an increase in Deborah number.

Practical implications

– A useful source of information for the investigators on the field of non-Newtonian fluids with heat transfer.

Originality/value

– This paper discusses the boundary layer flow of Maxwell fluid with power law heat flux in the presence of heat source.
