| Abstract | ||||
| A transient 2D model of Valve-less micro-pump is constructed and used to study pump performance under different conditions through numerical simulation. Operating conditions, design parameters and fluid properties effect on the micro pump net flow rate have been investigated. The operating frequency was found to be a critical operating parameter. Therefore, the effect of other design and operating conditions on the resonance frequency (optimum operating frequency) has been studied. Also, general correlations for the micro pump dimensionless performance characteristics have been deduced with sufficient accuracy, within the studied range. | ||||
