The current article presents a comprehensive investigation of MHD viscous flow of hybrid-nanofluids (Al2O3 − Ag/ water and (Al2O3 − Cu/) over a horizontally irregular 3D plane with non-uniform thickness combined with slip effects. The foremost aim of conducting this study is to enhance thermal transportation. Based on the following novelties, the subject study holds tremendous significance: i. A comparative analysis of two hybrid nanofluids with hybrid-base fluid together with slip effects ii. An exclusive study where the Tiwari and Das nanofluid model is employed combined with Fourier's heat flux model iii. Development of finite-difference code which implements the three-stage Lobatto IIIa approach for the designed problem. We have used suitable scaling transformations to convert the three-dimensional conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy into a dimensionless system of boundary layer equations. The numerical solution of the coupled non-linear boundary layer problem is determined using the built-in finite-difference code designed to employ the three-stage Lobatto IIIa formula. A comprehensive assessment is carried out in how the velocity components, temperature, skin friction, and heat transfer rate are affected by the physical parameters of interest. The same is presented through graphs and in tabular form to offer a pictorial overview. The fluctuating trends of skin friction coefficients (x, y-directions) and Nusselt number are investigated to explore the physical landscape of the current study. The findings of this study offer a noticeable contrast to their existing counterparts.
