| Abstract: | The study of rotating-disk heat-flow problems is relevant to computer storage devices, rotating machineries, heat-storage devices, MHD rotators, lubrication, and food-processing devices. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of a Hall current and motile microorganisms on nanofluid flow generated by the spinning of a disk under multiple slip and thermal radiation conditions. The Buongiorno model of a nonhomogeneous nanofluid under Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis was applied. Using the Taylor series, the effect of Resseland radiation was linearized and included in the energy equation. By implementing the appropriate transformations, the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) were simplified into a two-point ordinary boundary value problem. The classical Runge–Kutta dependent shooting method was used to find the numerical solutions, which were validated using the data available in the literature. The velocity, motile microorganism distribution, temperature, and concentration of nanoparticles were plotted and comprehensively analyzed. Moreover, the density number, Sherwood number, shear stresses, and Nusselt number were calculated. The radial and tangential velocity declined with varying values of magnetic numbers, while the concentration of nanoparticles, motile microorganism distribution, and temperature increased. There was a significant reduction in heat transfer, velocities, and motile microorganism distribution under the multiple slip conditions. The Hall current magnified the velocities and reduced the heat transfer. Thermal radiation improved the Nusselt number, while the thermal slip conditions reduced the Nusselt number.
