The <i>tqg</i> FCNC events can be produced with a top quark and either an associated gluon or quark, while SM only has events with a top quark and an associated quark.

This work aims to study the flow behaviour for velocity, concentration, and temperature including the novel effects of heat radiation in energy equation and energy activation in concentration equation. Using proper similarity variables, governing equations are transformed to dimension-free form. The bvp4c method is used to solve these nonlinear dimension-free equations numerically. The flow behaviour of various physical parameters is studied graphically for velocity, temperature, and concentration boundary layer. Moreover, considerable importance in this investigation are skin friction coefficient, mass transport rate, and heat transport rate. Observation reveals that Reynolds number and suction parameter enhance fluid velocity and skin friction. Also, fluid velocity in the case of ternary hybrid nanofluid, i.e., for Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–Cu–TiO<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O enhances than hybrid nanofluid (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–Cu/H<sub>2</sub>O) and nanofluid (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O).

Increasing the radiation parameter reduces fluid temperature by 4.76% from ternary to hybrid nanofluid and 4.54% from hybrid to nanofluid.
