This article addresses steady flow of Maxwell nanofluid induced by an exponentially stretching sheet subject to convective heating. The revised model of passively controlled wall nanoparticle volume fraction is taken into account. Numerical solutions of the arising non-linear boundary value problem (BVP) are obtained by using MATLAB built-in function bvp4c. Simulations are performed for various values of embedded parameters which include local Deborah number, Prandtl number, Biot number, Brownian motion parameter and thermophoresis parameter. The results are consistent with the previous studies in some limiting cases. It is found that velocity decreases and temperature increases when the local Deborah number is increased. Moreover the influence of Brownian diffusion on temperature and heat transfer rate is found to be insignificant
