The steady two-dimensional flow and heat transfer past a moving plate in a hybrid nanofluid with magnetic fileds slip and thermal radiation effect were studied. The continuity, momentum and energy eqautions for this study are transformed into similarity equations via similarity transformations. Then, the similarity equations are solved numerically using bvp4c solver in Matlab software. The effects of several parameters on the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are presented and discussed. The results showed that dual solutions exist for a certain range for the nanoparticle volume fraction parameters. It also found that the heat transfer rate increased with the increasing magnetic field effect parameters. Regression analysis was also performed to estimate the value of the local Nusselt number.
