Abstract : The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of nonlinear thermal radiation on the heat and mass transfer characteristics of a Brinkmann-type hybrid nanofluid flowing through a porous, infinite plate at a constant suction/injection rate while considering the influence of a transverse magnetic field. This study contributes to the more generic topic of heat and mass transport, especially concerning intricate situations involving fluid dynamics. An explicit finite difference method is utilized to solve the system of nonlinear coupled governing equations. The analytical solution for linear thermal radiation is obtained by employing the Laplace transform. When heat is transferred from the fluid to the plate, the fluid experiences a decrease in velocity due to the influence of the Brinkmann parameter and suction. Conversely, when heat is transferred from the plate to the fluid, the fluid experiences an increase in velocity due to the effect of suction. While it is commonly believed that suction hinders the flow, research has revealed that it can actually enhance the velocity in certain scenarios. These kinds of fluids possess several practical applications in filters, supply pumps, filter pumps, and return pumps within machines.
