Electro-osmotic flow (EOF) is widely used in microfluidic systems. Here, we report an analysis of the thermal effect on EOF under an imposed temperature difference. Our model not only considers the temperature-dependent thermophysical and electrical properties but also includes ion thermodiffusion....
