Electrohydrodynamics and ion transport phenomena in conducting and dielectric fluids have
received intense attention from the scientific community over the last few years. The wide variety
of physical effects in conjunction with the fluid-fluid and fluid-solid interface interactions as well as
non-uniformities of the bulk properties have a significant impact on the flow in narrow channels.
Real Money Rummy into these phenomena opened new and diverse possible applications in the general
framework of micro and nanofluidics, ranging from liquid pumping, electric field-based fabrication
methods to DNA-manipulation, to name a few.

Electrokinetic flows are generally analyzed, assuming isothermal conditions even though
such situations are hard to be achieved in practice. This work accesses the implications and
significance of thermally induced ion diffusion in symmetric electrolytes in non-isothermal
electrokinetic charge separation processes using molecular dynamics simulation. The extent of
influence of the Soret effect on various surface charge density is identified, which helps in the
control of the thermophoretically induced streaming current. The phonon density of states is
calculated to qualitatively understand the Soret effect in the system for various surface polarities . Our
results elucidate the electrokinetic properties of carbon-based material electrodes for use in thermal
storage systems. Also, the application of thermophoresis as a transport mechanism in charged
hydrophobic nanochannel is investigated
