Developments of Electro-Osmotic Two-Phase Flows of Fourth-Grade Fluid through Convergent and Divergent Channels

Abstract

This paper discusses the development of two different bi-phase flows. Fourth-grade fluid exhibiting the non-Newtonian fluid nature is taken as the base liquid. Two-phase suspension is obtained by using the spherically homogeneous metallic particle. Owing to the intense application of mechanical and chemical multiphase flows through curved and bent configurations effectively transforms the flow dynamics of the fluid. Differential equations for electro-osmotically driven fluid are modeled and solved with the help of the regular perturbation method. The obtained theoretical solution is further compared with the ones obtained by using two different numerical techniques and found to be in full agreement.
