Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of the Steady Electro-Osmotic Flow of Two Immiscible Fluids: A Biomedical Application

The in vitro fabrication of big osteoarticular implants integrating biomaterials and cells is tremendous interest because these tissues have a limited ability to regenerate. However, the growth such highly problematic, especially later culture, when extracellular matrix has almost filled initial porous network. Thus, fluid flow required properly perfuse sample cannot be obtained by hydraulic driving force alone. Fluid pumping central concern microfluidic system electro-osmotic pumps (EOPs) are commonly employed for this purpose. Using electro-kinetic equations as basis, study analyzed variations two-fluid viscoelastic through channel. behavior was studied Ellis equation. This how pump functions, demonstrated literature that it electrically drags conducting across non-conducting interfacial dragging along A steady-state analytical solution channel undertaking an interface planner fluids exhibiting Newtonian rheological properties. characteristics were detail using model’s parameters. rheology studied, which showed viability technique.
