The interfacial nanolayer is a tinny coating of liquid molecules convened around the immersed solid nanoparticles in the base liquid, and it promises a vibrant role in improving and controlling the thermal properties of the nanoparticles and flow features when embedded in the base fluid. Hence, the current study features the effect of interfacial nanolayer thickness during MWCNT and nanodiamonds (ND) embedded water-based hybrid nanofluid fluid over an inclined stretching cylinder. Nonlinear Arrhenius activation energy, binary chemical reactions and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux are included in the system. An appropriate transition is applied to rationalize the substantially paired and nonlinear governing equations and then processed by the Galerkin finite element method (G-FEM). The impression of different governing parameters on the governing systems in conjunction with entropy and Bejan number is demonstrated through graphical and tabular form. The graphs are drawn with an evaluation of general and hybrid nanofluids and different nanolayer thicknesses of nanoparticles. Three-dimensional features were observed for skin friction, heat, and mass transfer. The effects of entropy and the Bejan number are exhibited through graphs. The thermal impact is very significant in the presence of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and is further supported by nonlinear thermal radiation and the Brinkman number. It is true that the Brinkman number disrupts the heat transfer rate; however, it improves with heat generation. Entropy generation is enhanced with an enhancement in permeability.
