In this work, we holographically study the hydrodynamical properties of 
strongly coupled Super Yang–Mills baryon rich thermal plasma with large number of flavour quarks. Specifically, we study the drag force acting on the moving heavy probe quark and corresponding energy loss. We also study the jet quenching parameter, screening length and binding energy of the quark–antiquark pair. Due to the presence of finite baryon density and flavour quarks the drag force, energy loss, jet quenching parameter and binding energy of the quark–antiquark pair are enhanced for the increase in temperature. However, the screening length of the quark–antiquark pair is reduced, leading to the thermal plasma phase being achieved at a lower temperature, which is consistent with the thermal phase diagram of the quark–gluon plasma. We observed that the perpendicular orientation of quark–antiquark pair with respect to the direction of motion deconfined early compare to the parallel orientation once temperature raises.
