Nanofluids are of great importance to researchers as they have significant uses industrially due to their high heat transfer rates. Recently, a new class of nanofluid, “hybrid nanofluid” is being used to further enhance the heat transfer rate. This new model in 3D is employed to examine the impact of thermal radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction over stretching sheet in the presence of rotation. It is concluded from the current research that even in the presence of radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction the heat transfer rate of Hybrid nanofluid is higher than the simple nanofluid.
