The inclusion of nanoparticles in ionic fluid expands the range of potential applications and allows for the tailoring of properties to suit specific needs. This interaction between ionic fluids and nanomaterials results in advancements in various fields, including energy storage, electronics, biomedical engineering, and environmental remediation. The analysis investigates the influence of a transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, and mixed convection acting on the channel walls. The novel physical outcomes include enhanced propulsion efficiency due to SWCNTs, understanding the influence of thermal radiation on fluid behavior and heat exchange, elucidation of the interactions between SWCNTs and the nanofluid, and recognizing implications for microfluidics and biomedical engineering. The Poisson\u2013Boltzmann ionic distribution is linearized using the modified Debye\u2013H\u00fcckel approximation. By employing real-world approximations, the governing equations are simplified using long-wavelength and low-Reynolds-number approximation. Conducting sensitivity analyses or exploring the impact of higher-order corrections on the model\u2019s predictions in recent literature might alter the results significantly. This acknowledges the complexities of the modeling process and sets the groundwork for further enhancement and investigation. The resulting nonlinear system of equations is solved through regular perturbation techniques, and graphical representations showcase the variation in significant physical parameters. This study also discusses pumping and trapping phenomena in the context of relevant parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16060717","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,10]],"date-time":"2024-06-10T10:45:56Z","timestamp":1718016356000},"page":"717","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Analytical Investigation of Thermal Radiation Effects on Electroosmotic Propulsion of Electrically Conducting Ionic Nanofluid with Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Interaction in Ciliated Channels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Junaid","family":"Mehboob","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Faculty of Sciences, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7805-8259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rahmat","family":"Ellahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Faculty of Sciences, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"},{"name":"Center for Modeling & Computer Simulation, Research Institute, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Fulbright Fellow Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4796-0581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sadiq Mohammad","family":"Sait","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Interdisciplinary Research Center for Smart Mobility and Logistics, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"326","article-title":"Sur un nouvel effect de l electricite glvanique","volume":"2","author":"Reuss","year":"1890","journal-title":"Mem.
