In this study, we have examined the primary behaviour of a hybridized electro-magneto-non-Newtonian MoS2-SiO2/H2O nanofluid over a porous Riga surface that is exponentially contracting, in particular its flow dynamics and heat transfer characteristics. The key factors of this research are the presence of quadratic thermal radiation over the Riga surface under velocity slip and convective boundary. We have solved the highly circuitous coupled partial differential equations system by utilizing the bvp4c numerical method with MATLAB programming. A dual solution is determined based on a certain amount of mass suction parameter and shrinking parameter under the critical value range; beyond that value, no solution exists. We investigated the stability of the dual solutions by determining the minimal eigenvalue. An evaluation of the temporal stability of these solutions reveals that only the first solution remains stable. This is supported by the positivity of the smallest eigenvalues (β1> 0), indicating stability. Conversely, for the second solution, the smallest eigenvalues (β1< 0) are negative, signifying its instability. It can be seen that the nanofluid temperature is substantially enhanced for both branches of solution for the quadratic thermal radiating parameter, Eckert number, and Biot number. It was found that, in the first solution branch, the velocity layout was boosted with the velocity slip factor while reduced by enhancing the Casson parameter, whereas, in the second solution branch, the opposite behavior was observed. As the suction parameter increases, the heat transfer coefficient for the first solution is decreased by about 0.5 % and increases by about 0.75 % for the second solution branch. Quadratic thermal radiation parameter Nr significantly impacts the Nusselt number, as it is reduced by approximately 27.44 % and 28.72 % for the first and second solution branches, respectively. The shear stress coefficient is decreased by about 29.32 % for the first solution branch with contracting parameter λ. Because the Riga plate, paired with Casson nanofluid flows, has industrial and civil engineering applications, this study's thermal relevance makes it applicable to a wide range of industrial and engineering disciplines.
