FIGURE OF MERIT STUDY FOR VALVELESS PIEZOELECTRIC MICROPUMP DESIGNED TO HANDLE LIQUID AND GAS FLUID IN MEDICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
Micropumps are revolutionizing compact and autonomous monitoring systems due to their portability and efficiency. In this paper, we present a valveless piezoelectric micropump design. This micropump distributes gas and liquid using a PDMS membrane that moves in response to a force applied by a piezoelectric actuator. The proposed design aims to ach...

A SUPERIMPOSED VALVELESS MICROPUMP USING NEW CHANNELS FOR OPTIMAL DRUG DELIVERY
In this paper, we propose a valveless micropump with an improved inlet/outlet channel configuration for biomedical applications. To do so, we added curved parts known as "ears" to a standard diffuser/nozzle shape. This new design will enlarge the flow rate values between both directions for the purpose of improving the valveless micropump efficienc...
