Electroosmotic flow of Eyring fluid in slit microchannel with slip boundary condition

Abstract

In consideration of the electroosmotic flow in a slit microchannel, the constitutive relationship of the Eyring fluid model is utilized. Navier’s slip condition is used as the boundary condition. The governing equations are solved analytically, yielding the velocity distribution. The approximate expressions of the velocity distribution are also given and discussed. Furthermore, the effects of the dimensionless parameters, the electrokinetic parameter, and the slip length on the flow are studied numerically, and appropriate conclusions are drawn.
