Hybrid nanofluids (HNF) are the advanced form of nanofluids used for improved heat transfer purposes. Taking this point in mind, the objective of the presented endeavor is to examine the Yamada–Ota HNF flow model comprising (gold–silver/engine oil) over a stretched cylindrical surface and a sheet (as a limiting case) in a permeable medium. The novelty of this research is the consideration of the surface-catalyzed reaction along with the homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions to accelerate the chemical reactions in the shortest possible time. The heat transport phenomenon is strengthened with the support of Joule heating, heat absorption/generation, and the convective heat boundary condition at the surface of the cylinder. The obtained ordinary differential equations are reduced from the partial differential equations using boundary layer theory and are numerically computed using the Keller box method. It is witnessed that for varied estimates of the magnetic parameter, the thermal profile enhances while the velocity field reduces. It is also noted that the fluid concentration is reduced when the surface-catalyzed parameter is enhanced. The validation of the envisioned model in a limiting case is also added to this investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
