Presented article is concerned with hybrid nanomaterial (SWCNTs+CuO + Engine oil) by a curved stretched sheet is addressed. Heat transport features in flow is elaborated for melting phenomenon. Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium is employed. Governed flow expressions (PDEs) are transformed into ODEs via suitable transformations. Shooting technique with RK-4 algorithms (bvp4c) is utilized for the numerical study. Graphical visualization of flow, skin frictin, Nusselt number and temperature is addressed. Further comparison of results for hybrid nanomaterial (SWCNTs+CuO + Engine oil), nanomaterial (SWCNTs+Engine Oil) and basefluid (Engine oil) is analyzed.
