摘要: In this work, the effects of externally applied axial pressure gradients and transverse magnetic fields on the electrokinetic energy conversion (EKEC) efficiency and the streaming potential of nanofluids through a microannulus are studied. The analytical solution for electro-magneto-hydro-dynamic (EMHD) flow is obtained under the condition of the Debye-Hückel linearization. Especially, Green’s function method is used to obtain the analytical solutions of the velocity field. The result shows that the velocity distribution is characterized by the dimensionless frequency ?, the Hartmann number Ha, the volume fraction of the nanoparticles φ, the geometric radius ratio a, and the wall ζ potential ratio b. Moreover, the effects of three kinds of periodic excitations are compared and discussed. The results also show that the periodic excitation of the square waveform is more effective in increasing the streaming potential and the EKEC efficiency. It is worth noting that adjusting the wall ζ potential ratio and the geometric radius ratio can affect the streaming potential and the EKEC efficiency.
