This paper presents the analytical solution of a combined electroosmotic/pressure driven flow of three viscoelastic immiscible fluids in a parallel flat plate microchannel. The mathematical model is based in the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and Cauchy momentum conservation equation. In the steady state analysis, we consider that the three fluids are electric conductors and obey to the simplified Phan-Thien-Tanner rheological model; therefore, different conditions at the interface between the fluids as electric slip, surface charge density and electro-viscous stresses balance are discussed in detail. Results show the transport phenomena coupled in the description of the velocity profiles, by the analyzing of the dimensionless parameters obtained, such as: the electric slips, the electric permittivities ratios, the surface charge densities, the zeta potentials at the walls, the interfaces positions, the viscosity ratios, the viscoelastic and electrokinetic parameters, and the term involving the external pressure gradient. Here, the presence of a net electric charges balance at the interface, breaks the continuity of shear viscous stresses, modifying the flow field; hence, for the established electric conditions at the interface through the values of the electric slips and the surface charge densities, play a role like a switch on the flow behavior. This investigation extends the knowledge about the techniques on the control of immiscible non-Newtonian fluids in microescale.

Abstract This paper presents the analytical solution of a combined electroosmotic and pressure driven flow of multilayer immiscible fluids in a narrow capillary. The mathematical model is based in the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and the modified Navier-Stokes equations. In the steady-state analysis, we consider different conditions at the interfaces between the fluids as potential differences, surface charge densities and electro-viscous stresses balances, which are discussed in detail. Results show the transport phenomena coupled in the description of velocity distribution, by the analyzing of the dimensionless parameters obtained, such as: potential differences, surface charge densities, electrokinetic parameters, term involving the external pressure gradient, ratios of viscosity and of dielectric permittivity. Here, the presence of a net electric charges balance at the interfaces breaks the continuity of the electric potential distributions and viscous shear stresses, modifying the flow field; thus, the electrical conditions established at the interfaces play an important role on the flow behavior. The present work, in which the velocity field is described, aims to be an important contribution in the development of theoretical models that provide a better understanding about labs-on-a-chip design.

Time-periodic pressure-driven slip flow and electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency in a nanotube are studied analytically. The slip length depends on the surface charge density. Electric potential, velocity and streaming electric field are obtained analytically under the Debye–Hückel approximation. The electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency is computed using these results. The effects of surface charge-dependent slip and electroviscous effect on velocity and electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency are discussed. The main results show that the velocity amplitude and the electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency of the surface charge-dependent slip flow are reduced compared with those of the surface charge-independent slip flow.

The electroviscous effect has been widely studied to investigate the effect of surface charge-induced electric double layers (EDL) on the pressure-driven flow in a micro/nano channel. EDL has been reported to reduce the velocity of fluid flow and increase the fluid drag. Nevertheless, the study on the combined effect of EDL with large zeta potential up to several hundred millivolts and surface charge depenedent-slip on the micro/nano flow is still needed. In this paper, the nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation for electrical potential and ion distribution in non-overlapping EDL is first analytically solved. Then, the modified Navier–Stokes equation for the flow considering the effect of surface charge on the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte and slip length is analytically solved. This analysis is used to study the effect of non-overlapping EDL with large zeta potential on the pressure-driven flow in a microchannel with no-slip and charge-dependent slip conditions. The results show that the EDL leads to an increase in the fluid drag, but that slip can reduce the fluid drag. When the zeta potential is large enough, the electroviscous effect disappears for flow in the microchannel under a no-slip condition. However, the retardation of EDL on the flow and the enhancement of slip on the flow counteract each other under a slip condition. The underlying mechanisms of the effect of EDL with large zeta potential on fluid drag are the high net ionic concentration near the channel wall and the fast decay of electrical potential in the EDL when the zeta potential is large enough.
