In the recent years, rapid developments in nanotechnology have developed a great prospects for researchers to check up. Thermal performance of nanofluid is well scrutinized by global scientists. Keeping aforesaid pragmatism of nanofluids, we have considered Sutterby liquid under thermophoretic and Brownian movement's aspects. Radiation and stratification phenomenon for thermal analysis of Sutterby nanoliquid are considered. By invoking some appropriate transformations and boundary conditions the given partial differential equations are converted into coupled system of ODEs (ordinary differential equations). Then by using Bvp4c algorithm, we resolved these ODEs numerically. Graphs are designed to check the behavior of appropriate parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration distribution. Consequences extracts that increase in Hartmann number decays the velocity profile whereas opposite behavior is accounted for temperature distribution. It is also observed that for larger values of thermal stratification phenomenon deteriorates the transportation rate of heat. Furthermore, Sutterby fluid model calculates the features of pseudoplastic plus dilatant solutions. This study is very suitable for extraordinary polymer resolutions plus polymer melts.
