Development of Diffuser/Nozzle Based Valveless Micropump

A valveless micropump was realized with a diffuser/nozzle shaped channel and a variable volume actuator which produces an oscillating flow. One-way flow may be realized in the nozzle direction since the pressure loss in a nozzle channel is lower than that in a diffuser channel. Pump characteristics...
