Hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) have several applications in various fields due to their unique properties, heat exchangers, refrigeration systems, cooling of electronic devices, solar thermal energy, geothermal energy, nuclear power plants, biomedical engineering, coatings, ceramics, environmental remediation, rocket propulsion, thermal management systems, heat shields, etc. Due to these applications, the existing problem is presented to study the flow of Maxwell HNF for the stretching sheet in a permeable medium comprising of magnesium oxide (MgO) as well as iron (I, II) oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles (Nps) for the improvement of heat transport. The magnetic field effects are considered on the flow behavior. Transport of heat as well as mass is computed by using the concepts of Brownian diffusivity, diffusivity due to thermophoresis, and chemical reaction under convective conditions. The flow dynamics have been designed in the form of PDEs (partial differential equations). By using the suitable variables of similarity, higher-order nonlinear PDEs have been converted into ODEs (ordinary differential equations). Simulation of these ODEs of higher order is performed by using the parametric continuation method (PCM). In this study, it is examined that the NF and HNF velocity is reduced due to greater magnetic field parameters and volume fraction of Nps. Further, the increasing role of the NF and HNF temperature is obtained for the parameters of Brownian and thermophoresis.
