Abstract

An exact solution for time periodic electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian fluid between the micro-parallel plates was developed.Constitutive equations of a generalized Burgers' fluid were utilized in the mathematical formulation.The resulting problem was solved by a Fourier transform technique.Finally,the graphs were plotted and discussed for various emerging parameters of interest.
- generalized Burgers’ fluid,
- periodic flow,
- Fourier tranform
