Abstract

Second law analysis of double diffusive cilia endorsed transport of thermally radiated hybrid nanofluid through an electroosmotic pump is deliberated in this study. Joint effects of applied Lorentz force, activation energy and Joule heating on the proposed stream are also examined. Channel inner surface is shielded with artificial cilia carpet that ensures flow induction and micro-mixing activity in the fluid. After applying the lubrication and the Debye-Huckel estimations, numerical solutions of the envisioned problem are calculated. The analysis reveals that the elevated electric potential and prolonged cilia assist directional flow spreads over large distances. The augmentation in fluid stream is seen near the channel surface for higher electroosmotic parameter. Presence of activation energy input and thin electric double layer supports mass dispersion and control heat indulges. The present model provides an immediate understanding about the promising role of fabricated cilia in electroosmotic pumps for the future biomimetic micro and nanofluidic devices.
