Abstract
Current article is a study on peristaltic transport of menthol electrolytes altered utilizing an external electric field which contributes to the creation of a net surface charge attracting counter ions and repels co ions from the menthol based nanofluid, thus preceding the formation of an electrical double layer (EDL), a region of net charges at surface vicinity. Effects of electroosmotic body forces are studied on the base fluid with and without the presence of copper nanoparticles. Menthol-based fluid is chosen to owe to its utility in medicines and flavoring. Combine effects of electro-osmotically modulated magneto hydrodynamic peristaltic flow for Menthol based nanofluid in a uniform channel with shape factor is not discussed so far in literature. Streamlines are drawn to examine the collective influence of electroosmosis and peristalsis on trapping a fluid volume (e.g., bolus) inside the channel. Trapping is reported to be significantly influenced by an electric field rather than an electro-osmotic parameter. The present investigation may also be beneficial in the design of organs on chip-like devices for improved drug design and delivery.
