The current matter examines the 2D flow of Prandtl Eyring hybrid (Al2O3+Cu/SA) nanoliquid through a porous media with a velocity slip mechanism along the melted Riga wedge. A combination of Alumina (Al2O3) and Copper (Cu) nanoparticles in a sodium alginate (SA) base liquid is called a hybrid nanofluid. Furthermore, the physical meaning of the flow behavior is explored with Darcy-Forchheimer. Heat sink/source, nonlinear thermal energy, and viscous dissipation, applications all need the computation of heat transference. The current flow problem is modelled in the system of highly nonlinear PDEs based on flow assumptions. We use an appropriate similarity transformation to turn these PDEs into ODEs. We simulate the obtained paired nonlinear higher-order ODEs employing the ideas from the bvp4c Matlab scheme. With the help of the graphics, several physical dimensionless factors are discussed and their unique effects on the flow profile are shown. One of the study's most notable findings is that applying boundary slip and Riga impact can increase velocity because of weak electromagnetic forces. At lower velocities, wedge flow through a Darcy-Forchheimer medium is primarily driven by viscous resistance under Darcy's law, with little in the way of inertial forces. It is also noteworthy that the temperature differential, thermal radiation, nanoparticle volume percentage, and Eckert number all enhance the nanoliquid thermal profile in both Prandtl Eyring fluid and hybrid nanofluid. The Nusselt number is increased for both the melting and fluid parameters.
