The prime objective of present exploration is to study effects of magnetohydrodynamic, Joule heating and thermal radiation on an incompressible Jeffrey nanofluid flow over a linearly stretched surface. Simultaneous effects of convective heat and mass boundary conditions are also considered. Obtained system of boundary layer equations is converted into ordinary differential equations with high linearity using appropriate transformations. Analytical solutions via homotopy analysis method are obtained and deliberated accordingly. Discussion of graphs pertaining different prominent parameters is also added. Numerical values of skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also given and well deliberated. It is noted that higher values of thermophoretic parameter boost temperature and concentration distributions. Moreover, temperature field is an increasing function of radiation parameter.
