Improving heat and mass transfer using nanofluids is essential for industrial processes requiring enhanced energy efficiency, product quality, and operational safety. A numerical study examines three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic nanoliquid movement over a dual stretchable surface subject to inclined magnetisation, viscous dissipation, thermal radiation, and chemical reactions. The fluid system rotates at a constant angular speed, reflecting operational conditions encountered within the chemical processing industry. Complex nonlinear governing equations describing fluid motion, energy, and concentration were transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved computationally. The simulations reveal that raising the Eckert number increases both Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for hybrid nanofluids. Furthermore, adjusting the angle of magnetic inclination reduces skin friction while delivering measurable performance gains, with hybrid nanofluids outperforming standard nanofluids, and faster chemical reaction rates directly boosting the rate of mass transmission.
Efficient heat and mass transport is vital for reducing energy consumption, improving product quality, and meeting environmental regulations across industrial manufacturing. Understanding how magnetic fields and rotational dynamics govern hybrid nanofluid behaviour provides engineers with foundational data needed to design safer, more efficient fluid handling systems in sectors such as chemical processing.
This work represents early-stage theoretical research applicable to chemical processing systems and thermal equipment design. Industrial plant designers and fluid dynamicists could use the numerical findings to better configure magnetic and flow parameters in processing equipment. Because the study relies exclusively on mathematical modelling and computer simulations, practical commercial application remains distant and will require physical prototyping and experimental testing.

Heat and mass transfer rate by using nanofluids is a fundamental aspect of numerous industrial processes. Its importance extends to energy efficiency, product quality, safety, and environmental responsibility, making it a key consideration for industries seeking to improve their operations, reduce costs, and meet regulatory requirements. So, the principal objective of this research is to analyze the heat and mass transfer rate for three-dimensional magneto hydrodynamic nanoliquid movement with thermal radiation and chemical reaction over the dual stretchable surface in the existence of an inclined magnetization, and viscous dissipation. The flow is rotating with constant angular speed [Formula: see text] about the axis of rotation because such flows occur in the chemical processing industry and the governing equations of motion, energy, and concentration are changed to ODEs by transformation. The complex and highly nonlinear nature of these equations makes them impractical to solve analytically so tackled numerically at MATLAB. The obtained numerical results are validated with literature and presented through graphs and tables. Increasing the Eckert number from [Formula: see text] a higher Nusselt and Sherwood number was noted for the hybrid nanofluid. By changing the angle of inclination [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text] performance is noted at 8% for nanofluid and 33% for hybrid nanofluid. At the same time, [Formula: see text] performance of 0.5% and 2.0% are observed respectively. Additionally, as the angle of inclination increases the skin friction decreases and the chemical reaction rate increases the mass transmission rate.
