| Summary: | Abstract The present study scrutinizes slip effects and stagnation point flows of upper-convected Maxwell fluid past a stretching sheet. The non-linear ordinary differential equations are obtained from the governing partial differential equations and solved using implicit finite difference method. The impacts of non-dimensional governing parameters such as Brownian motion parameter, velocity ratio, velocity slip parameter, suction/injection parameter, Lewis numbers, upper-convected Maxwell parameter, magnetic field, thermophoresis parameter, chemical reactions parameter, thermal slip parameter, solutal slip parameter, and heat source parameter on the velocity field, heat and mass transfer characteristics are discussed and presented through graphs. The values of local Sherwood number, local Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are discussed and presented through tables. The results indicate that when the magnetic field is intensified, it reduces velocity profiles and raises temperature and concentration profiles. Moreover, with an upsurge in velocity slip parameter, the local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number diminish.
