This paper presents a mathematical model analysis of heat and mass transfer in a two-dimensional flow of electrically conducting, thermally radiative, and chemically reactive Maxwell nanofluid towards a vertical stretching and permeable sheet embedded in a porous medium. Boundary layer approximation and suitable transformations are used to reduce the governing differential equations convenient for computation. Eventually, the transformed nonlinear differential equations along with the corresponding boundary conditions are solved in the framework of optimal homotopy analysis method. The effects of induced magnetic field, buoyancy force, viscous dissipation, heat source, Joule heating, and convective boundary condition are analyzed in detail. The rates of heat, mass, and momentum transfer with respect to the relevant parameters are also examined in terms of the local Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and skin friction coefficients, respectively. Among the many results of the study, it is shown that the induced magnetic field, flow velocity, and temperature profiles are increasing functions of the Maxwell parameter. The results of the present study are also in a close agreement with previously published results under common assumptions.
