Abstract : In recent times, numerous assertions on the thermophysical properties of nanoliquids in various flow regimes, particularly the laminar flow regimes have been documented in the literature. With this focus, this theoretical investigation is to explore multiple solutions of the laminar two-dimensional Jeffrey fluid describing the Buongiorno nanofluid model and features of heat transport near a stagnation point across a movable radial disc. Also, the study seeks to explore the effects of zero mass flux and velocity of mass transpiration embedded within a Jeffrey fluid. With the help of the ansatz similarity transformations, the study simplifies complex partial differential equations into a set of ordinary differential equations, facilitating numerical dual solutions employing the bvp4c solver. The multiple solutions become apparent in a specific range of the shrinkable parameter. The results of the present study show that the suction parameter intensifies the phenomena of friction factor in the upper solution, whereas an annulment trend is observed in the lower solution. In addition, the shear stress and heat transfer rate decline with higher impacts of the Deborah number for the first solution while a monotonical behaviour is seen for the second solution. Besides, the absolute critical value decreases owing to the change value of the Deborah number, as a result, the separation of the boundary layer accelerates. Moreover, the heat transfer rate declined by about 0.29%, 0.37%, and 0.28% for the FBS and 0.30%, 0.32%, and 0.28% for the SBS with larger values of N t a, N b a and S c a, respectively. Lastly, the outcomes of the present examination with existing data are an excellent match for the limiting cases.
