Abstract: This numerical investigation effectively establishes a unique computing exploration for steady magnetohydrodynamic convective streams of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid traveling across a nonlinearly elongating elastic surface with a variable thickness. In addition, the importance of an externally imposed magnetic field of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid is comprehensively analyzed by considering the substantial impact of thermal conductivity and thermal radiation consequences. The governing PDEs (partial differential equations) are transmuted into a nonlinear differential structure of coupled ODEs (ordinary differential equations) using a series of variable similarity transformations. Furthermore, these generated ODEs (ordinary differential equations) are numerically set using a novel revolutionary Runge-Kutta algorithm with a shooting approach constructed in a MATLAB script. In this regard, extensive comparison studies are carried out to validate the acquired numerical results. The interactions between the associated profiles and the relevant parameters are rationally explored and shown using graphs and tabular forms. The velocity distribution declined with improving Weissengberg number W e and power-law index m , while the reverse performance can be observed for temperature. As enhancement in Brownian motion, Thermophoretic and radiation parameters significantly rise in temperature distribution. The use of many different technological and industrial systems, including nano-bioconvective systems, nano-droplet evaporation, nano-ink jet printing, and microbial fuel cells, would benefit this research study.
