Abstract: A study of influence of melting heat transfer along with thermal radiation on MHD hybrid nanofluid (Fe₂O₃–CuO/H₂O) flow through a stretching cylinder is carried out in the present work. The minute solid nanoparticles of Fe₂O₃and CuO in base fluid water are used to analyze the heat transfer rate. Hybrid nano particles volume fraction used in the fluid has the range lying between 0 to 25%. The partial differential equations governing the motion of the fluid flow are reduced to ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and non-dimensional parameters. The reduced ordinary differential equations are solved by using R-K shooting technique. The graphical illustrations of velocity and thermal fields for various values of parameters are analyzed. An increase in velocity and temperature of the fluid is observed when the concentration of hybrid nanofluid particles in the base fluid water is increased. It is observed with the results obtained that increasing values of various parameters like Reynolds number, porosity parameter, volume fraction of hybrid nanoparicle and radiation parameter enhanced the rate of heat exchange. Skin factor (surface drag force) and Nusselt number (surface heat transfer rate) get boosted with the rising values of Reynolds number.
