Abstract Several researchers have studied nanofluids over the past several decades and tried to identify potential agents that are added to nanofluids (nanoparticle suspensions) with tremendous thermal conductivity. In such suspensions, the Brownian motion of nanoparticles is the only means expected to be associated with the improved thermal conductivity of nanofluids, and the sections that may add to this are the subject of main conversation and discussion. In the current evaluation, the effect of Brownian motion has been investigated by injecting nanoparticles into the base fluid, and the existing fundamental information is available at creation. Propagation results show that this mixing effect can significantly increase the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. One of the interesting features of this model is that the temperature can be increased by the energy of sunlight, which is required for some industrial processes. The stretching property of the sheet is more conducive to the temperature rise. This model contains features that have not been previously studied, which is driving demand for this model in a variety of industries, now and in future generations.
