•A mixed ferro-ferrimagnetic ternary alloy cylindrical nanowire system is studied.•The dependence of the transition temperature on the concentration value and interaction ratio is examined.•Thermodynamic properties are studied for a wide range of system parameters. In the present study, we have investigated the finite temperature magnetic phase transition properties of a mixed ferro-ferrimagnetic ternary alloy cylindrical nanowire of the type ABpC1−p by Monte Carlo simulation technique. The nanowire system consists of two interpenetrating sublattices, one of which contains type-A magnetic components with spin-3/2 and the other one is randomly occupied type-B and type-C magnetic components with spin-1 and spin-5/2, respectively. We have examined the effect of exchange interaction ratio, R, and the concentration value of type-B magnetic ions, p, on the transition temperature of the system. It has been found that one can modify the transition temperature and saturation magnetization of the system by varying concentration value and interaction ratio. Moreover, our numerical results show that the ternary alloy nanowire system exhibits compensation behavior for particular values of the system parameters.
