Increasing behavior of thermal performance and improvement of heat transfer rate with the growing consequence of hybrid nanofluid is used in the advantages of cooling and heating processes. The current paper addresses to see the impact of non-Fourier heat flux on Blasius–Rayleigh–Stokes flow conveying the hybrid nanofluid through a plate by comprising the significance of the magnetic effect, nothing is known on the significance of magnetic (Fe3O4) and non-magnetic (Al2O3) hybrid nanoparticles. Appropriate variables are utilized to transfigure nonlinear partial differential equations into a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. Bvp4c approach is implemented to get the numerical solution of the converted system of ordinary differential equations. The results are interpreted through graphs to inspect the flow behavior of pertaining parameters involved in the problem. It is examined that the temperature enhances due to hybrid nanoparticles while the velocity reduces. In addition, the acute angle accelerates the velocity but decelerates the temperature. Moreover, to check the efficiency and reliability of the proposed technique, the outcomes of the considered problem are compared with the previously available outcomes and found to be in a favorable agreement.
