Modern heat transport processes such as fuel cells, hybrid engines, microelectronics, refrigerators, heat exchangers, grinding, coolers, machining, and pharmaceutical operations may benefit from the unique properties of nanoliquids. By considering Al2O3{{\rm{Al}}}_{2}{{\rm{O}}}_{3} nanoparticles as a solo model and Al2O3–Cu{{\rm{Al}}}_{2}{{\rm{O}}}_{3}{\rm{\mbox{--}}}{\rm{Cu}} as hybrid nanocomposites in a hyperbolic tangent fluid, numerical simulations for heat and mass transfer have been established. To compare the thermal acts of the nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid, bvp4c computes the solution for the created mathematical equations with the help of MATLAB software. The impacts of thermal radiation, such as altering thermal conductivity and cross-diffusion, as well as flow and thermal facts, including a stretchy surface with hydromagnetic, and Joule heating, were also included. Furthermore, the hybrid nanofluid generates heat faster than a nanofluid. The temperature and concentration profiles increase with the Dufour and the Soret numbers, respectively. The upsurge permeability and Weissenberg parameter decline to the velocity. An upsurge variable of the thermal conductivity grows to the temperature profile. Compared to the nanofluids, the hybrid nanofluids have higher thermal efficiency, making them a more effective working fluid. The magnetic field strength significantly reduces the movement and has a striking effect on the width of the momentum boundary layer.
