Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for numerical analysis of radiative MHD hybrid nanofluid flow comprising formulating governing continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration equations under boundary layer assumptions; incorporating magnetic field, thermal radiation, thermal slip, and chemical reaction effects; transforming the governing equations into coupled ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations; solving the transformed system using a numerical boundary value solver; and analyzing dual solution behaviour to determine flow stability and heat and mass transfer characteristics of the hybrid nanofluid. The nanofluid comprises sodium alginate as a base fluid with AA7072 and AA7075 aluminium alloy nanoparticles flowing over a power- law stretching or shrinking surface with suction. The magnetic field induces Lorentz force opposing motion, thermal radiation enhances temperature distribution, and suction stabilizes the boundary layer. Dual nanoparticles improve thermal conductivity, while slip, chemical reaction, and concentration effects govern transport behaviour, with dual solutions indicating stable and unstable flow regimes.
