Abstract The aim of the current article is to investigate the rotating Maxwell nanofluid flow with double stratification and activation energy. The heat and mass transfer analysis is examined with the influence of variable thermal conductivity and thermophoretic effects. The flow analysis is presented over a linear / exponential stretching sheet. Theory of the boundary layer is considered to modify the flow model equations into the coupled ordinary differential equations. The numerical technique bvp4c Matlab is used to compute these coupled equations. It is found that both rotation and stretching has a remarkable impact on the velocity profile and temperature. The heat flux condenses for higher values of rotation parameter. The reduction occurred in the rate of heat and mass transfer by enlarging value of Deborah number. Further, augmentation of thermophoretic parameter produces the enhancement in the mass transfer rate. The novelty of the current problem is to analyzed the Maxwell nanofluid flow in the rotating frame with activation energy and thermophoretic effect. A relative analysis of current computations with prevailing literature revealed a remarkable agreement.
