In this article, attention is paid to investigate the effects of linear and non-linear thermal radiations for Maxwell nanofluid flow, flowing due to elongating cylinder. For better understanding of variations in heat transfer, non-linear heat generation is also considered. The equations of flow, heat and mass transfer due to incorporation of nano particles, are modeled through Navier-stoke, energy and concentration equations. The reduced partial differential equations are transformed into dimensionless ordinary differential equations with the help of appropriate transformations. The reduced system of ordinary differential equations is simulated by means of efficient technique namely shooting method. Significant difference in the heat transfer enhancement can be observed through temperature profiles and tables of Nusselt number. From the graphs, finally it is concluded that nonlinear radiation provides better heat transfer rate at the surface of cylinder as compare to the linear or absence of radiation eff...
