Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.This study demonstrates that Al2O3–GNP hybrid nanofluids significantly enhance heat transfer in porous rectangular enclosures. Magnetic fields suppress velocity but raise temperature, while higher Biot and Brinkman numbers improve Nusselt number and entropy generation, highlighting effective thermal control in non‐Newtonian HNF systems.
