This paper provides a theoretical study of 3D nanofluid flow with zero nanoparticles mass and constant heat fluxes conditions. An incompressible Newtonian nanoliquid saturates the permeable media describing the Darcy–Forchheimer (DF) relation. A bidirectional stretchable sheet has been considered to produce the three-dimensional flow. Appropriate variables are considered to change the PDEs into the ODEs. The obtained nonlinear framework is computed by the optimal homotopic technique. Outcomes of numerous emerging flow factors on concentration and the temperature of nanoparticles are explored. Heat transport rate and skin frictions have been tabulated and analyzed. The presented data reveal that temperature distribution is upgraded for larger estimations of Forchheimer number. Furthermore, the heat transport rate reduces when thermophoresis number enhances.
