Which effect limits liquid flow rate in microfluidic devices?

💡 Explanation

Shear thickening fluid restricts flow because increased shear stress causes viscosity to increase. Therefore, flow rate decreases at higher pressures rather than obeying linear scaling at this scale because of non-newtonian characteristics.
