This study investigates the Blasius flow and heat transfer characteristics of a copper-alumina-titania/water ternary hybrid nanofluid over a moving flat plate. A similarity transformation is applied to reduce the governing partial differential equations into a system of similarity equations, which are then solved numerically using the Matlab-based boundary value solver. The analysis reveals the existence of dual solutions under certain flow conditions, particularly when the plate and free stream move in opposite directions. An increment of 0.5% titania concentration led to the upsurge of skin friction and heat transfer coefficients which shows that the copper-alumina-titania/water exhibits superior flow and heat transfer performances as compared to the copper-alumina/water. These findings provide a basis for optimizing operational efficiency and designing processes tailored to specific outcomes.
