Abstract
Electro-osmotic flows of non-Newtonian fluids play an important role in microdevices and microfluidic systems. A theoretical and numerical analyses are conducted to explore the characteristics of electro-osmotic flow of non-Newtonian Eyring fluids in a circular microtube under the Navier's slip boundary condition. The exact solution of velocity distribution as well as corresponding approximate solution is obtained. The effects of slip length, electrokinetic parameter and non-Newtonian characteristics on the electro-osmotic flows are discussed and plotted graphically.
