Abstract
In this research, the blood as a fluid is assumed to be by considering Newtonian and non - Newtonian with different particle concentration in a three-dimensional rectangular microchannel rotating in a chamber around a vertical axis at a constant angular velocity. Affected by direct current, numerical investigation. Numerical results on the number of different nanoparticles in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids were extracted and it was observed that increasing the number of particles indicates an increase in fluid velocity in different directions. With increasing volume fraction, the pressure increases along the channel. Also, numerical investigation of particle velocity and particle distribution has shown that velocity changes in non-Newtonian fluids are much less than in Newtonian fluids. In fact, the flow of non-Newtonian fluids requires a stronger electrical field.
