Study of Electroosmotic Flow in a Nanotube with Power Law Fluid

Abstract:

In this paper, electroosmotic phenomena in power law fluids are investigated. This assumption is applicable in many cases such as blood. Flow channels assumed to be in nanoscale. Navier-Stokes, Poisson-Boltzmann and electrochemical equilibrium equations govern these phenomena. It is notable that, these governing equations should be modified according to fluid complexity. Electroosmotic phenomena occur in the presence of electric double layer (EDL). Potential in the edge of the inner layer (stern layer) is called zeta potential. In this paper, according to follow the applicability of the subject, zeta potential is assumed to be so small, that makes the Poisson-Boltzmann equation linear and be able to solve analytically. Method employed for analytical solution is based on developed Bessel differential equation. This paper aims to investigate the fluid properties, zeta potential and Debye-Huckel parameter effect on the viscosity, electroosmotic mobility and velocity field in the nanotube. These expected achievements help us to study the properties of blood and some other non-Newtonian fluids more precisely.
