The need for efficient nanotechnology has led to unexpected developments. Conserving continuous thermal propagation is essential in many industrial and thermal systems because it improves the efficiency of thermal engineering engines and machinery. Therefore, a promising platform to increase thermal power energy is the hybridization of magnetic nanoparticles in a heat-supporting, non-Newtonian fluid. In light of the above applications, a mathematical model is established to analyze the variable fluid features of the thermally radiative and chemically reactive flow of a micropolar Williamson ternary hybrid nanofluid with electromagnetohydrodynamic and electroosmosis forces on a porous stretching surface. Stratification boundary conditions and variable fluid properties were used to analyze the thermal and solutal behavior of the fluid flow. Furthermore, to measure the disorder of the flow system, entropy generation was considered by the impact of Joule heating and viscous dissipation. To develop the numerical scheme BVP4C in MATLAB, we first converted the mathematical flow model into two ordinary differential equations using a suitable transformation. The graphical and numerical results were determined against several parameters of a ternary hybrid nanofluid (MWCNT,Al2O3,SiC)({\rm{MWCNT}},\hspace{0.25em}{\rm{A}}{{\rm{l}}}_{2}{{\rm{O}}}_{3},\hspace{0.25em}{\rm{SiC}}) and unary nanofluid (Al2O3)({\rm{A}}{{\rm{l}}}_{2}{{\rm{O}}}_{3}). The results indicate that the heat transfer rate is more prominent in the ternary hybrid nanofluid than in the unary nanofluid because the addition of nanofluids to the base fluid is used to improve the heat transport rate. It can be seen from the figures that a greater estimation of the magnetic and electric field parameters improves the fluid velocity because, for low values of M≤1M\le 1, the aiding force is dominant compared to the retarding force, which results in an improvement in the velocity profile. Furthermore, the entropy generation rate increases for higher values of the Brinkman number and temperature ratio parameter because more heat is produced due to the greater values of Br{\rm{Br}}.
