The study deals with the problem of steady, three-dimensional MHD boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid flow due to a horizontal surface stretched exponentially in two lateral directions. The surface temperature is assumed to be distributed exponentially and possesses convective boundary conditions. The governing set of nonlinear partial differential equations along with the associated boundary conditions is simplified using a similarity transformation and the resulting set of ordinary differential equations is solved numerically. The effects of important physical parameters associated with the fluid flow and heat transfer are presented.
