Abstract
The heat transfer of the combined magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and electroosmotic flow (EOF) of non-Newtonian fluid in a rotating microchannel is analyzed. A couple stress fluid model is scrutinized to simulate the rheological characteristics of the fluid. The exact solution for the energy transport equation is achieved. Subsequently, this solution is utilized to obtain the flow velocity and volume flow rates within the flow domain under appropriate boundary conditions. The obtained analytical solution results are compared with the previous data in the literature, and good agreement is obtained. A detailed parametric study of the effects of several factors, e.g., the rotational Reynolds number, the Joule heating parameter, the couple stress parameter, the Hartmann number, and the buoyancy parameter, on the flow velocities and temperature is explored. It is unveiled that the elevation in a couple stress parameter enhances the EOF velocity in the axial direction.
