Theoretical expressions of the flow rate, output pressure and thermodynamic efficiency of electrokinetic pumping of non-Newtonian fluids through cylindrical and slit microchannels are reported. Calculations are carried out ...

A theoretical description of the electrokinetic flow of non-Newtonian fluids through slit and cylindrical microchannels is presented. Calculations are based on constitutive models of the fluid viscosity, and take into ...

Electrokinetic energy conversion in microfluidic systems is a subject of intense research at present, where the main objective is to improve the thermodynamic efficiency of the process. As a novel strategy to the problem, ...

The linear theory of electromigration, including the first-order nonlinear approximation, is generalized to systems with any equilibria fast enough to be considered instantaneous in comparison with the timescale of peak ...

We discuss several possible phenomena in electrophoretic systems with complexing agents present in the background electrolyte. In our previous work, we extended the linear theory of electromigration with the first-order ...

In this work we present a mathematical and computational modeling of electrokinetic phenomena in electrically charged porous medium. We consider the porous medium composed of three different scales (nanoscopic, microscopic ...
