Abstract

This paper is mainly attained to examine the electric double layer (EDL) phenomena and rheological effects on peristaltic pumping through asymmetric microchannel in presence of Lorentz force. To examine the electroosmosis mechanism, Poisson-Boltzmann equation is considered. To describe the rheological behavior of the fluids, a Phan-Thien-Tanner model is taken into account. The governing equations are simplified by using scaling analysis with low Reynolds number and large wavelength approximations. The set of non-linear partial differential equations are solved by regular perturbation technique to find out the series solutions for stream function, axial velocity and pressure gradient. Furthermore, the shear stress at the channel wall is derived. The graphical results for velocity, pressure gradient, stream lines and shear stress are illustrated using the in-house code written in Mathematica software. It is revealed that velocity field, shear stress and trapping phenomenon are strongly altered with EDL thickness, electric and magnetic fields. It is further concluded that rheological parameter i.e. Weissenberg number significantly affects the physical mechanisms. This model can be applicable in various complex systems where the rheological fluids can be transported by novel microfluidics peristaltic pumps.
