1. Introduction
A crucial component of numerous industrial and technological processes is the fluid flow above a stretched surface with mass and heat transfer. Applications include the chilling of sheets, melt-spinning operations, fiber spinning, casting, etc. Additionally, fluids flow is used in geophysics, industrial engineering, petroleum engineering, groundwater hydrology, ceramic engineering, and chemical engineering. The final finishing of products depends upon the amount of heat transfer. Therefore, it is crucial to check the velocity and heat transfer inside a fluid to obtain a basic understanding of these processes.

Non-Newtonian nanofluids do not obey the Newton law of viscosity, while Newtonian nanofluids obey this law because they have direct relations between shear stress and shear rate when subjected to applied stress. Such fluid plays an essential part in different industrial applications such as polymer extrusion, cosmetics, coolants, in the food industry and the final finishing of the products. The nanofluids are prepared by suspending nanometer-sized particles in a host fluid, and these fluids have improved heat transfer rates as compared to the host fluid. Similarly, hybrid nanofluids are the mixture of one or more nanoparticles in nanofluids that perform extraordinary heat transmission. Sarada et al. [

The main objective of this research is to examine the flow of a viscous, incompressible, hybrid nanofluid above a stretchy, rotating, permeable plate with a heat source and chemical reaction under the influence of a magnetic field. The fluid and plates are rotating simultaneously with constant speed about the axis of rotation. The governing equations of momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into ODEs by a similarity transformation and tackled at MATLAB using the boundary value problem technique. The influence of different constraints is discussed in the form of graphs and tables.
