The aim of this article is to investigate the heat and mass diffusion (Cattaneo–Christov model) of the upper convected Maxwell nanomaterials passed by a linear stretched surface (slip surface) near the stagnation point region. Convocational Fourier’s and Fick’s laws are employed to investigate heat and mass diffusion phenomena. Using the similarity transformations, the governing PDEs are rendered into ODEs along with boundary conditions. The boundary value problem is solved numerically using RK-4 method along with shooting technique (Cash and Karp). The effects of embedded parameters, namely fluid relaxation parameter, Hartmann number, Brownian moment, thermophoresis parameter, thermal relaxation parameter, Lewis number, chemical reactions concentration relaxation parameter, and slip parameter on velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions, are deliberated through the graphs and discussed numerically. The skin friction coefficient is deliberated numerically, and their numerical values are accessible through graphs and table. The comparison of current article is calculated in the last section, and a good agreement is clear with the existing literature.
