The candid intension of this article is to inspect the heat and mass transfer of a magnetohydrodynamic tangent hyperbolic nanofluid. The nanofluid flow has been assumed to be directed by a wedge on its way. In addition, the collective stimulus of the convective heating mode with thermal radiation is inspected. The governing set of PDEs is rendered into that of the coupled nonlinear ODEs. The resulting ordinary differential equations are then solved by the well known shooting technique for two different cases; the flow over a static wedge and flow over a stretching wedge. The impact of intricate physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles is analyzed graphically. It is noticed that the intensifying values of the generalized Biot number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter and Weissenberg number enhances the dimensionless temperature profile.
