Abstract: This exploration addresses the boundary layer flow of Sutterby nanofluid by a stretched cylinder by incorporating the revised models for heat and mass transmissions by engaging Cattaneo–Christov theory. A mathematical model is developed under boundary layer analysis. The physical phenomenon is firstly derived in the form of partial differential equations by engaging the conservation laws. Modified Darcy’s law characterizes the porous medium. The nonlinear equations for the proposed model are analyzed optimally and dynamically. Nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) through conservation laws of mass, momentum, energy and concentration are established. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear systems are obtained by Optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM). Stream plots are given for velocity solution. Graphs of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are sketched and discussed with physical significances. It is reported that escalating values of the magnetic parameter boost the fluid temperature and concentration whereas the opposite impact on velocity is portrayed. Moreover, temperature and concentration fields decreases by growing the values of thermal and solutal relaxation parameters.
