Developing fluid flow and heat transfer with temperature dependent properties in microchannels with electrokinetic effects is investigated numerically. The electrokinetic effect on liquid flow in a parallel slit is modeled by the general Nernst-Planck equation describing anion and cation distributions, the Poisson equation determining the electrical potential profile, the continuity equation, and the modified Navier-Stokes equation governing the velocity field. A Finite-Volume Method is utilized to solve the proposed model.
