Work Done

In this work, effects of non-linear Joule heating and slip at walls is analyzed for an electro-thermal flow in a slit microchannel . The analysis is conducted in dimensionless form obtaining asymptotic (lubrication approximation theory) solutions. The main results obtained in the analysis include variation of average pressure at a cross-section, discharge, electro-thermal force at a section due to Joule heating and phenomenon of slip at walls.
