Abstract An analytical determination of electric voltage generated by the pressure-driven °ow through complex
microchannels was analyzed based on the fractal theory. The pressure-driven °ow through a complex
microchannel with consideration of electrokinetic phenomena is described by the momentum and Poisson-
Boltzmann (P-B) equations. The solution of induced electric ˉeld strength and electric voltage across
complex microchannels are obtained using the fractal theory and technique, which are the function of
dimensionless electroosmotic radius and the porosity. The results obtained show that the analytical
results are agreed well with the experimental data.
