This article addresses the MHD flow of micropolar carbon-water nanofluid in the presence of rotating frame. Two types of carbon nanotubes (single and multi-walls) are homogeneously dispersed in the base fluid (water). Convective heat transfer phenomenon is also retained in this study. With the help of the similarity transformation, a mathematical model is developed by transforming the partial differential equation into ordinary differential equation. Further it is then solved analytically by using homotopy analysis method HAM. The impact of emerging parameters, skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are also discussed in detail. It is observed that temperature profile decreases with the increase in porosity parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction while enhances for higher values of Biot number. Further Micro rotation profile increases with the increase in coupling parameter N-1 and Reynolds number R while decreases with increase in Biot number Bi and volume fraction O.
