Abstrakt: In recent times, the interaction of nanoparticles has significantly enhanced the thermal association of heat transport. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in hydraulic systems, particularly in the context of lubrication and its associated consequences on mass and heat transport. Current studies have focused on investigating the thermal effects of a third-order nanofluid on a lubricated stretched surface near an analytical stagnation point. The lubrication process involves the use of a thin, adjustable coating of lubricant fluid. To analyze this complex system, we employ the Buongiorno model and explore thermophoresis and the Brownian motion phenomenon. For deriving analytical results of updated boundary layer ordinary differential equations, we rely on the dependable and effective hybrid homotopy analysis method (HHAM). To exhibit the effectiveness of our study, we provide a numerical comparison. Based on theoretical flow assumptions, we establish a range of flow parameters. In the presence of lubrication, we physically examine how these parameters affect temperatures, velocities, concentration, and other relevant quantities of thermal interest. These new findings have practical applications in polymer production, heat transmission, and hydraulic systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
