摘要: The objective of this paper is to carefully study the performances a new piezoelectric micropump that could be used, e.g., for drug delivery or micro-cooling systems. proposed characterized by silicon diaphragms, with actuation at 60 V input voltage, and two passive valves flow output. By means 3-D Finite Element (FE) model, fluid dynamic response during different stages working cycle investigated, together fluid–structure interaction. maximum predicted outflow 1.62 μL min − 1 , obtained 10 Hz frequency. computational model enables optimization geometrical features, goal improve pumping efficiency: increased until 2.5 .
