Electroosmotic Flow of MHD Power Law Al2O3-PVC Nanofluid in a Horizontal Channel: Couette-Poiseuille Flow Model

The current manuscript is reported about the electro-osmotic Couette-Poiseuille flow of power law Al2O3-PVC nanofluid through a channel, in which upper wall is moving with constant velocity. The influences of magnetic field, mixed convection, joule heating, and viscous dissipation are also incorporated. The flow is generated because of constant pressure gradient in axial direction. The resulting flow problem is coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are at first modeled and then transform into dimensionless form through appropriate transformation. Analytical solution of the governing is carried out. The impact of modified Brinkman number, modified Magnetic field, electro-osmotic parameters on velocity and temperature are examined graphically. From the results, it is concluded that the Skin friction at moving isolated wall decreases with the increase of electro-osmotic parameter and reverse behavior for Nusselt number at heated stationary wall occur.
