In this paper, the numerical solutions for magneto-hydrodynamic Hiemenz fluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet and the Brownian motion effects of nanoparticles through a porous medium with chemical reaction and radiation are studied. The repercussions of thermophoresis and mass transfer at the stagnation point flow are discussed. The plate progresses in the contrary direction or in the free stream orientation. The underlying PDEs are reshaped into a set of ordinary differential equations employing precise transformation. They are addressed numerically using the successive linearization method, which is an efficient systematic process. The main goal of this study is to compare the solutions obtained using the successive linearization method to solve the velocity and temperature equations in the presence of m changes, thereby demonstrating its accuracy and suitability for solving nonlinear differential equations. For comparison, tables containing the results are presented. This contrast is significant because it demonstrates the accuracy with which a set of nonlinear differential equations can be solved using the successive linearization method. The resulting solution is examined and discussed with respect to a number of engineering parameters. Graphs exemplify the simulation of distinct parameters that govern the motion factors.
