Abstract

A design methodology for a self-priming PMMA valveless piezoelectric micro-pump has been proposed. A finite element-based software has been used to investigate the feasible device configurations. Both actuator and diffuser parameters have been studied. The experimental tests have shown that the proposed design approach yielded a low-cost and highly efficiency micro-pump.
