Abstract : The current article concerns with the flow of an incompressible dusty hybrid nanofluid over a stretching cylinder by considering Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium and viscous dissipation. Heat transfer and momentum behavior of water-based fluid with suspended nanoparticles (copper and Titania) is scrutinized in this study. The two-phase model which handles the particle phase and the fluid phase is accounted in this study. The modelled equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using suitable similarity variables. Later, these reduced equations are solved by adopting the Runge–Kutta Fehlberg-45(RKF-45) technique along with shooting scheme. The graphs are plotted to examine the impact of various dimensionless parameters on velocity and thermal profiles for both dust and fluid phases. For engineering apprehensions, the coefficient of skin friction and Nusselt number are also calculated and scrutinized through graphs. The outcomes reveal that, increase in mass concentration of particles improves the heat transfer but declines velocity gradient. The increase in velocity interaction parameter of the fluid reduces the velocity gradient of fluid phase but increases the velocity of the dust phase. Finally, increasing values of curvature parameter improves the velocity and temperature of both the phases.
