Abstract
The electrokinetic flow through star-point family microchannels is studied. Mathematical solutions using a semi-analytical approach are employed to model the steady, fully developed electroosmotic flow in the closed-end star point family microchannels. The model can be extended to other irregular shape channels. The effects of sharp corners, electrolyte concentration and packed capillary radius, R0 are analyzed. Comparisons of the flow characteristics and induced pressure gradient inside and outside of the packed capillaries are presented.
