Time-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
متن کاملInvestigation of electrokinetic mixing in 3D non-homogenous microchannels
A numerical study of 3D electrokinetic flows through micromixers was performed. The micromixers considered here consisted of heterogeneous rectangular microchannels with prescribed patterns of zeta-potential at their walls. Numerical simulation of electroosmotic flows within heterogeneous channels requires solution of the Navier-Stokes, Ernest-Plank and species concentration equations. It is kn...
متن کاملElectroosmotic flows in microchannels with finite inertial and pressure forces.
Emerging microfluidic systems have spurred an interest in the study of electrokinetic flow phenomena in complex geometries and a variety of flow conditions. This paper presents an analysis of the effects of fluid inertia and pressure on the velocity and vorticity field of electroosmotic flows. In typical on-chip electrokinetics applications, the flow field can be separated into an inner flow re...
متن کاملAnalytical Study of Temperature Distribution of the Electroosmotic Flow in Slit Microchannels
Abstract: Presence of externally applied electric field can cause the flow field in the micron and submicron channels; this generated flow field is called electroosmotic. In this type of flow field, the presence of the external electric field causes the extra generated heat in the domain that may affect the performance of the system (Joule heating effect). In the present study, an analytical ap...
متن کاملMultiple open-channel electroosmotic pumping system for microfluidic sample handling.
The development of a novel, fully integrated, miniaturized pumping system for generation of pressure-driven flow in microfluidic platforms is described. The micropump, based on electroosmotic pumping principles, has a multiple open-channel configuration consisting of hundreds of parallel, small-diameter microchannels. Specifically, pumps with microchannels of 1-6 microm in depth, 4-50 mm in len...
