The present article focuses on the time-dependent three-dimensional Maxwell fluid flow with temperature-dependent fluid properties along the stretching sheet. The heat and mass transfer analysis are presented in the occurrence of activation energy, convective boundary condition, and non-uniform heat source/sink effect. The flow model is converted into a system of coupled ODEs with the help of a similarity transformation. The numerical built-in technique Bvp4c is employed to solve the obtained coupled ODEs. The graphical outcomes are obtained against the various parameters and discussed. It is seen from the graphs that fluid velocity diminishes for stronger values of relaxation parameter and shows an opposite trend for the variable viscosity parameter. Moreover, it is noted from the tabulated data that the heat and mass transfer rate reduces for the stronger values of unsteadiness and the variable viscosity parameter.
