In the current era, a chemical, industrial, or production process may not be devoid of heat transfer processes through fluids. This is seen in evaporators, distillation units, dryers, reactors, refrigeration and air conditioning systems, and others. On the other hand, the micropolar model effectively simulates microstructured fluids like animal blood, polymeric suspensions, and crystal fluid, paving the way for new potential applications based mainly on complex fluids. This investigation attempts to figure out and predict the thermal behavior of a polar fluid in motion across a solid sphere while considering the Lorentz force and mixed convection. To support the original fluid's thermophysical characteristics, two types of ternary hybrid ferro-nanomaterials are used. The problem is modelled using a single-phase model. Then, using the Keller box approximation, a numerical finding is obtained. The study reveals that Increasing the volume fraction of the ternary hybrid nonsolid results in optimized values of Nusselt number, velocity, and temperature. The presence of Lorentz forces effectively mitigates flow strength, skin friction, and energy transfer rate. The mixed convection factor contributes significantly to enhanced energy transfer and improved flow scenarios. For maximum heat transfer efficiency, employing FeO-Cu-SiO is recommended over FeO-AlO-TiO.
