Abstract: Bioconvection research is primarily focused on the augmentation of energy and mass species, which has implications in the processes intensification, mechanical, civil, electronics, and chemical engineering branches. Advanced bioconvection technology sectors include cooling systems for electronic devices, building insulation, and geothermal nuclear waste disposal. Hence, the present investigation is mainly discoursing the impact of Marangoni convention Casson nanoliquid flow under gyrotactic microorganisms over the porous sheet. The partial differential equations (PDEs) are re-structured into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via suitable similar variables. These ODEs are numerically solved with the help of the spectral relaxation method (SRM). The numerical outcomes are illustrated graphically for various parameters over velocity, temperature, concentration, and bioconvection profiles. Three-dimensional (3D) views of important engineering parameters are illustrated for various parameters. The velocity of the Casson nanoliquid increases with increasing the Marangoni parameter but decreases against higher porosity parameter. The surface drag force enhances for enhancement in the Marangoni number. The rate of mass transmission is higher for reaction rate constraint but diminishes for activation energy parameter. The higher radiative values augment the rate of heat transmission.

Key words: Casson nanofluid, activation energy, thermal radiation, bioconvection, Marangoni convection
