particles were suspended in the base uid and
Baghbanzadeh et al. [6] showed that the heat
transfer rate increased by 14%. Suresh et al.
[7] considered the hybrid nanouid of copper-
alumina hybrid nanouid, Hayat and Nadeem
[8] studied silver-copper(II)oxide in water and
Oke et al. [9] considered the ow of copper-
alumina in water. Other recent studies on hy-
brid nanouid can be found in [10, 11, 12]. Re-
cently, it has been shown that ternary hybrid
nanouids enhance the thermal and electrical
properties of the uids better than the nano-
uids or hybrid nanouids [13]. Mousavi et al.
[14] examined the impact of volume fraction
and temperature on the thermophysical proper-
ties of a water-based ternary hybrid nanouid
of CuO, MgO, and TiO. The results showed
an improvement in the thermal conductivity
of the ternary hybrid nanouid with increasing
volume fraction. Furthermore, Elnaqeeb et al.
[13] and Oke [15] considered the suspension of
carbon nanotubes, graphenes and alumina in
water. The study considered the eect of vari-
ous particle shapes and sizes on the thermal
properties of the uid. The results show that
temperature is enhanced at a small volume frac-
tion.
Power generation, cancer tumour treatment
and magnetic devices for cell separation are
all practical applications where the use of
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ows play vi-
tal roles. MHD ow becomes more applic-
able when the geometry of ow involves ro-
tation as seen in ([16, 17, 18, 19, 15]). Oke
et al. [20] explored the eect of rotating sur-
faces on the MHD ow of water and air. It
was discovered that increasing surface rota-
tion raises ow temperature and that increas-
ing magnetic eld strength counteracts the ef-
fects of increased Coriolis force on skin friction
and heat transfer rate. Oyem et al. [21] con-
sidered the eects of variable thermal conduct-
ivity on an MHD Blasius and Sakiadis ows.
The results show that velocity proles reduce
and the temperature increases with increasing
magnetic eld strength for both Sakiadis and
Blasius ows. The impact of magnetic eld on
the transport of micropolar uid was reported
by Fatunmbi et al. [22]. Ouru et al. [23] showed
that the magnetic eld strength also inhibits
the ow velocity and increases temperature pro-
les. The ow of a reactive tangent hyperbolic
uid over a non-linear stretching surface was
evaluated by Fatunmbi et al. [24]. The authors
pointed out that the momentum boundary layer
and uid velocity were reduced due to the drag-
like Lorentz force occasioned by the magnetic
eld. Insightful results on the MHD ow of
Eyring-Powell uid over a stretching sheet with
a convective boundary condition were shown in
Oke and Mutuku [25]. Williamson uid ow
over an inclined rotating surface is studied in
the presence of a magnetic eld by Juma et al.
[26].
Carbon is the fourth most abundant chemical
element in the universe, following the gases hy-
drogen, helium, and oxygen [27]. As the most
abundant solid element, carbon is an excel-
lent candidate for use in nanoparticles within
nanouids. Carbon exists in several allotropes
[28], including graphite, diamond, fullerenes,
graphene, and carbon nanotubes. These al-
lotropes have diverse industrial applications,
such as steel production, where graphite is used
for electrodes and lubricants, and diamonds for
cutting tools and abrasives [29, 30]. Given their
exceptional properties, this study focuses on
the use of carbon nanotubes and graphene as
nanoparticles in the nanouids. From the lit-
erature above, studies have been carried out to
consider the ow of ternary hybrid nanouid
over moveable surfaces. However, the studies
have been restricted to nanoparticles of dif-
ferent shapes, and non-rotating surfaces and
without considering heat source. These are the
research gaps lled with this study where the
ow of ternary hybrid nanouid. (made from
the suspension of carbon nanotube (CNT), alu-
mina and graphene nanoparticles in water) over
a rotating moveable surface under the inuence
of heat source. This study provides answers to
the following research questions;
1. How can the ow parameters be chosen
to sustain model stability?
2. what is the inuence of the stretching ra-
tio on the transport phenomenon of the
ow of ternary hybrid nanouid over a
moveable rotating surface?
3. to what extent does channel rotation af-
fect the heat transfer rate, skin friction
and other transport properties of the ow
of ternary-hybrid nanouid over a move-
able rotating surface?
