In this essay, the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a Carreau nanoliquid upon a radiative stretching plate has been reviewed. The impacts of Joule heating and thermal ray are considered. The thermophoresis phenomenon and Brownian motion are applied to model nanoparticles (Buongiorno's model). Governing equations are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 4.5 after the transformation of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. In the obtained outcomes of investigating the impacts of different parameters on the change in velocity, concentration, and temperature profiles for two cases of shear-thinning liquid and shear thickening liquid are reported as diagrams. Also, in the final segment of this essay, the impacts of diverse parameters on the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are investigated. The novel findings of current research illustrate that the values of local Nusselt number and surface drag force for shear thickening liquid are higher than shear-thinning liquid. Also, the temperature profile theta(eta) has direct relationships with thermal radiation and magnetic field.
