Abstract
This article explores the heat and transport characteristics of electroosmotic flow augmented with peristaltic transport of incompressible Carreau fluid in a wavy microchannel. In order to determine the energy distribution, viscous dissipation is reckoned. Debye Hückel linearization and long wavelength assumptions are adopted. Resulting non-linear problem is analytically solved to examine the distribution and variation in velocity, temperature and volumetric flow rate within the Carreau fluid flow pattern through perturbation technique. This model is also suitable for a wide range of biological microfluidic applications and variation in velocity, temperature and volumetric flow rate within the Carreau fluid flow pattern.
Highlights
Many researchers have been studying the peristaltic transport in fluid mechanics to find its significance in biological science and hydrodynamics
A peristaltic transport is created by wave propagation along the flexible wall of the channel
Consider the electroosmotic flow (EOF) of an incompressible Carreau fluid altered by means of an externally applied electric field E0 along the length of the micro-channel
Summary
Many researchers have been studying the peristaltic transport in fluid mechanics to find its significance in biological science (generally) and hydrodynamics (especially). Some work has been carried out to describe the complex behavior of EOF with different Non-Newtonian fluid models (because of microfluidic applications). Ali and Hayat [28] explained the Carreau fluid transport simplest form of generalized Newtonian fluid is Power-law fluid. It defines shear thickening and through an asymmetric channel. Carreau field was fluidby model demonstrates theOlajuwon rheological aspect of Non-Newtonian fluids, including diffusion lubricants. Sobh [29] showed peristaltic slip flow of Carreau fluid transport a regular duct. Above-mentioned models describe theexamine impact of Non-Newtonian fluids only in peristalsis and not in EOF.Reynolds number and Debye Hückel linearization approximations, the Poisson-Boltzmann.
