The impact of nonlinear heat source and activation energy on magnetized Synovial trihybrid nanofluid Marangoni convective flow across a sheet combining two viscosity models is investigated in this study. Heat sources, activation energy, and conditions of local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) are all considered in the modelling. Based upon energy equations, the LTNE model provides unique heat transport for both liquid and solid phases. This leads to the utilization of different temperature profiles for the fluid and solid phases in this work. A trihybrid fluid is created by combining the basic fluid blood with MWCNT (multi-wall carbon nanotubes), SWCNT (single-wall carbon nanotubes) and sliver nanoparticle. This study significant potential in several fields. The effects of parameters on friction between joints are examined, which aids in the analysis of the lubricant nature of Synovial trihybrid nanofluid. A significant finding of the current work is that the thermal profiles decrease with higher values of the Concentration-dependent viscosity parameter, but the velocity profile increases. An increase in the inter-phase heat transfer characteristic raises the liquid phase's thermal profile while lowering the solid phase's thermal profile.
