ABSTRACT = {In current study, the numerical computations of Reiner–Rivlin nanofluid flow through a rotational disk under
the influence of thermal radiation and Arrhenius activation energy is considered. For innovative physical situations, the motile microorganisms are incorporated too. The multiple slip effects are considered in the boundary
conditions. The bioconvection of motile microorganism is utilized alongside nanofluids to provide stability to
enhanced thermal transportation. The Bioconvection pattern in various nanoparticles accredits novel applications
of biotechnology like the synthesis of biological polymers, biosensors, fuel cells, petroleum engineering, and
the natural environment. By deploying some suitable similarity transformation functions, the governing partial
differential equations (PDEs) of the flow problem are rehabilitated into dimensionless forms. The accomplished
ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are solved numerically through the bvp4c scheme via a built-in function
in computational MATLAB software. The upshots of some prominent physical and bioconvection parameters
including wall slip parameters, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter, Reiner–Revlin nanofluid
parameter, Prandtl number, Peclet number, Lewis number, bioconvection Lewis number, and the mixed convection
parameter against velocity, temperature, nanoparticles concentration, and density of motile microorganism profiles
are dichotomized and pondered through graphs and tables. The presented computations show that the velocity
profiles are de-escalated by the wall slip parameters while the thermal and solutal fields are upgraded with
augmentation in thermophoresis number and wall slip parameters. The presence of thermal radiation enhances
the temperature profile of nanofluid. The concentration profile of nanoparticles is boosted by intensification in
activation energy. Furthermore, the increasing values of bioconvection Lewis number and Peclet number decay the
motile microorganisms’ field.},
