In this paper, a mathematical model for electroosmotic flow of power-law fluids in a rectangular microchannel at high zeta potential is analyzed. The electric double layer (EDL) potential distribution is considered without Debye Huckel linear approximation. Numerical solution is obtained to analyze the fluid flow behavior. Parametric studies are conducted to assess the variation of shear stress, viscosity and volumetric flow rates of various values of flow behavior index (n). Computed results are used to explicate the possibility of using a relatively pseudoplastic fluid inside microchannel to obtain higher volumetric flow rates. (C) 2010 Elsevier BM. All rights reserved.
