This paper presents an experimental investigation of the pressure-driven two-fluid flow in microchannels with electroosmosis effect. Two fluids, aqueous NaCl solution and aqueous glycerol, were introduced by syringe pumps to flow side by side in a straight microchannel. The external electric field w...
