Performance Improvement and Two-Phase Flow Study of a Piezoelectric Micropump with Tesla Nozzle-Diffuser Microvalves

The Present article aims to design a piezoelectric micropump using a combinational form of microvalves with sufficient diodicity in low-pressure gradients. The goal is to enhance the capability of piezoelectric micropumps with Tesla-type valves in order to deliver insulin. Tesla-type valves are in t...
