Heat flow may be improved using a new form of nanofluid known as ternary hybrid nanofluid. Magnetic field, mass suction, and heat source effects on the stagnation area of [ ]) ternary hybrid nanofluid toward convectively heated stretching/shrinking cylinder with cylindrical shape nanoparticles are studied in this work. There will be an equation modeled under the given assumptions. It is feasible, with the help of similarity transformation, to convert nonlinear partial differential equations that are not quite solvable into ordinary differential equations that can be resolved numerically. The prevailing role of heat transfer and the features of movement of ternary hybrid nanofluids have been found to be significantly affected by the combination of Runge–Kutta-IV and the shotting technique in Mathematica. Many variables, including suction, Reynold number, nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic field, Biot number, heat source, and stretching/shrinking influenced temperature, velocity, skin friction, and the local heat transfer rate, as shown in the graphs in the study. When magnetic field, suction, and Reynold number are present velocity increases, but inverse is true for nanoparticle volume fraction and stretching/shrinking parameter. The greatest influence on the surface is shown by the ternary hybrid nanofluid. Additionally, the heat transfer rate of the ternary hybrid nanofluid is faster than that of the hybrid and regular nanofluids.

In this article, an investigation of the thermal and solutal energy transport in the 3 D flow of Maxwell nanofluid through a porous medium under the influence of the magnetic field is performed. The heat generation source and chemical reaction are also taken in account as a controlling agent for the heat and mass transport in the Maxwell liquid. A novel idea of Cattaneo-Christov theory and Buongiorno model for nanofluid is employed under the impact of Joule heating for the present analysis. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into a non-linear system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using flow similarities. The solution of similar ODEs is constructed through a well known semi-analytical technique which is the homotopy analysis method. The results of the investigation are explored in the form of graphs. It is observed that higher values of magnetic field decline the flow field. The temperature and concentration distributions decrease with the higher magnitude of thermal and solutal relaxation time phenomena, respectively. Moreover, the temperature field enhances when the Brownian motion of nanoparticles increases in flow while the concentration profile decreases. Also, it is found that the increase in resistive heating boosts up the thermal energy transport in the fluid motion.
