Figure (a) provides the variation of the EOS flow rate (Q) as a function of the strength of the applied electric field. We find that a significantly non-linear increase in the flow rate: a two-fold increase in the electric field strength (from 0.5 V/nm to 1 V/nm) leads to almost a three-fold increase in the volume flow rate (which increases from 13.17 m 3 s -1 to 36.45 m 3 s -1 ). The EOS volume flow rate is expected to vary linearly with the electric field strength, stemming from the fact that the EOS flow velocity is expected to vary linearly with the electric field strength. In this light, such non-linear enhancement of the EOS flow rate is a highly interesting finding and is the central result of this paper.
