The interaction of nanoparticles with base fluids to improve heat efficiency is a common mechanism, with nanofluids being widely applied in nanotechnology, thermal engineering, and bio-engineering; Current research focuses on the stagnation point flow of radiative micropolar nanofluids on a rotating disk, while considering factors such as thermal radiation and activation energy.
To improve the heat efficiency base fluids (water, engine oil, glycol), the interaction of nanoparticles (nanotubes, droplets, nanowires, metals and non-metals) into such traditional liquids is the most frequent mechanism and attained the researchers attention, especially in current decade. The nanofluid is a suspension of submerged solid particles in base fluids. The nano-materials convinced the applications in the field of nanotechnology, thermal engineering, industrial and bio-engineering. Following to such motivating applications in mind, current research reports the stagnation point flow of radiative micropolar nanofluid over an off centered rotating disk with applications of motile microorganisms. The novel dynamic of thermal radiation and activation energy are also incorporated. The appropriate transformations are utilized to reduce the partial differential equations into dimensionless forms. A numerical shooting scheme is used to obtain the approximate solution with MATLAB software. The effects of prominent parameter on velocity profile, nanofluid temperature, concentration of nanoparticles and microorganism profile are physically incorporated. (C) 2021 THE AUTHORS.

Summary: Physiological systems and biological applications in the past 15 years heavily rely on microscale and nanoscale fluxes. Microchannels have been used for diagnostic assays, cell adhesion and molecular transport studies, and mimicking circulatory system flow. MHD boundary flow has wide applications in engineering and technology, including power generation, polymer industry, flow meters, pumps, and filament spinning. This investigation focuses on the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Prandtl nanofluid, involving mixed convection, energy activation, microorganism, and chemical reaction. The study presents numerical outcomes and graphs on velocity profile, temperature, mass concentration, and microorganism density, considering various parameters like Prandtl fluid parameter, elastic fluid parameter, magnetic field, mixed convection parameter, activation energy, chemical reaction, Brownian motion, thermophoretic force, Prandtl number, and Schmidt number. The results show that the Prandtl fluid parameter and elastic fluid parameter enhance the velocity profile, while the Prandtl fluid parameter reduces the thermal rate with increasing concentration profile. Activation energy exhibits the opposite trend. The obtained numerical outcomes are compared with existing statistics and show good agreement in limiting cases.
