Abstract
Recent developments in MEMS related areas have increased the demand for practical and novel pumping methods. Utilizing Electroosmotic force for flow generation in microchannels has become really popular recently, because of its reliable operation and control. One of potential applications of MEMS devices is biological and medical analysis which most samples are considered to be non-Newtonian; consequently, thermal transport characteristics of non-Newtonian electroosmotic flow of power-law fluids is investigated in this paper. In this study, thermal and hydrodynamic behavior of non-Newtonian electroosmotic flow of power-law model in a slit microchannel is analyzed. It is assumed that the flow...
