Abstract: Purpose: Energy transport is a crucial phenomenon across many engineering applications, and its importance continues to grow with increasing demand for physical and industrial problem‐solving. In order to examine the function of a hybrid nanofluid, two dissimilar types of metal and oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were added to the solvent water using the concept of heat transmission across a flat stretched surface. The flow behavior is enhanced when the inertial drag of Darcy–Forchheimer is included across an expanding medium embedded in a permeable material. An interesting feature that draws attention to the proposed study is how the convective boundary condition and the Mintsa model conductivity are used to strengthen the thermos‐physical model. Design/Methodology/Approach: This work investigates the unsteady viscosity of a magneto‐hydro‐dynamic hybrid nanofluid consisting of alumina and copper (Cu) and alumina (Al2O3) particles with base fluid as water. This is accomplished by applying appropriate similarity transformations to convert the system's partial differential equations (PDEs) into a system of nonlinear ODEs. The order of resultant ODEs is minimized by the shooting technique, and then the system is handled numerically by using MATLAB's built‐in bvp4c solver, which provides ease of implementation. Using graphs and tables, the effects of the NP reactions on mass and heat transfer rates, surface drag force, and thermal and velocity profiles are displayed in the Results and Discussion section. Findings: The results derived from the computations demonstrate that the magnetic field minimizes the velocity by 9.25%, whereas HNF maximizes it by 6.65%. In the thermal depiction, the Prandtl number (Pr) decreases the rate by 2.5%, but the heat source and radiation parameters increase it by 15%. Originality/Value: This work has prominent applications in the fields of energy production, the manufacturing industry, heat transfer, aerospace engineering, biomedical research, and many more. Specifically, its application is in solar collectors, photovoltaic systems, geothermal energy, biomass energy, hydroelectric energy, concentrated solar power plants, and also in many other renewable energy systems.
