In current years, storage of energy is a challenging task for the scientists and researchers. So, they are interested to develop some extra ordinary techniques of energy storage. Thus, our main theme here is to focus on the latent heat energy (melting heat) which is more economical and sustainable. Transportation of melting heat in quadratic stratified Jeffrey fluid flow in the vicinity of stagnation point is scrutinized. The flow is deformed by linear stretchable sheet. Characteristics of heat transportation are scrutinized through viscous dissipation and heat generation or absorption. Constant magnetic field is implemented to electrically conducting fluid in vertical direction. The arising governing equations are converted in the non-dimensional state through suitable transformations. Homotopic technique is utilized for simulation of solutions. Graphical behavior of velocity and temperature fields is investigated corresponding to relevant parameters. As a conclusion, higher amount of energy can be achieved as melting phenomenon enhances, and also results in low temperature. Further, dominant stratification decays the temperature field. Current study will play key role in industrial liquids like polymer solutions to make high quality fiberglass, paints, silicone heat valves etc. This study will also deliberate efficiently for the storage of energy through phase change procedure i.e., melting phenomenon.
