Optimization of orifice position in particle-excitation valve for proportional flow control

Abstract This paper reports an improvement of the particle-excitation flow control valve. The valve that we have designed in previous reports can control air flow, using particle excitation by piezoelectric resonance, and has the following advantages: small size, lightweight, high response and conti...
