FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF ELECTROOSMOTIC FLOW IN A HETEROGENEOUS CONVERGING-DIVERGING CIRCULAR MICROCHANNEL

This thesis evaluates the fundamental understanding of electroosmotic flow in a heterogeneous converging-diverging circular microchannel. Three converging-diverging circular microchannels were modeled and the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electric double layer as well as the Navier-Stokes and c...
