The performance of a valveless micropump driven by chamber wall oscillation was numerically investigated for various frequency and amplitude of the oscillation. The numerical study was performed in the range of oscillation frequency from 200Hz to 1000Hz and amplitude from $1{\mu}m$ to $15{\mu}m$. And optimal values for the parameters are found. At the oscillation frequency 600Hz, the net flow rate of micropump shows a maximum value. Also the results show good agreement with the experimental results. The total flow rate was increased with the oscillation amplitude. However, the net flow rate was found to be decreased over $7{\mu}m$.

In this study, Design and simulation for low power consumption type pneumatic on-off micro valve was performed. And flow characteristics of the micro valve by stroke change was numerically investigated. As a result, it is shown that magnetic force(6.8N) is exerted enough to move poppet with 0.438mm stroke with 0.01 seconds of response time, and that there is no magnetic force emitted by yoke. Under the condition of poppet stroke smaller than about 0.4mm, dynamic pressure acts to poppet wall up to supply pressure level. But, that is decreasing to 40% when poppet stroke is 0.8mm.

Though a micro pump is a crucial element in miniaturized bio-fluidic systems or drug delivery systems, it has some intrinsic disadvantages such as backward flow, pulsation of flow, low repeatability and producibility, and high cost. To overcome these limitation, a PZT disc actuated micro pump including a novel ring-shaped multi-flap check valve is introduced. To enhance the performance of the micro pump, the static behaviour of flap valve module and the micro fluidic behavior of fluids are numerically modelled and analyzed. As results of the numerical analysis, the optimal dimension and configuration of the ring-shaped multi flap valve are $1{\times}0.05$ mm and 2 (inlet side)${\times}1$ (outlet side) type. The obtained maximum flow rates and flow resolution are about 90 ml/min and 30 ${\mu}l$/stroke respectively.

본 연구에서는 이온성 폴리머-금속 복합재료 (IPMC) 작동기를 사용한 플랩 밸브 마이크로 펌프의 설계, 제작 및 실험적 특성 규명을 수행하였다. 나피온/실리케이트 층과 나피온/실리카 나노복합재료를 기반으로 한 다층형 IPMC를 마이크로 펌프의 작동층으로 사용하였다. 마이크로 펌프의 핵심 요소인 IPMC 다이아프램의 주위를 유연한 폴리디메틸실옥산(PDMS)을 사용하여 지지하도록 함으로써 상당히 큰 작동 변위를 내도록 설계하였다. 이렇게 개발된 마이크로 펌프의 크기는 $20{\times}20{\times}5$ ${mm}^3$ 이고, 최대 유량은 760 l/min, 최대 배압은 1.5 kPa이었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 마이크로 펌프는 간단하고 효율적인 설계를 수행하여 제작이 용이할 뿐 아니라, 동작 전압이 1-3V라는 장점이 있다.

In this paper, a novel high power micropump using active check valves in place of conventional passive check valves employed at the inlet and outlet ports is presented. It actively controls open/close motion of check valves using piezoelectric actuator for expansion/contraction of pump chamber. A prototype micropump having an effective size of $17mm{\times}8mm{\times}11mm$ is fabricated. Frequency-dependent flow rate characteristics, bi-directional flow characteristics and load characteristics are experimentally investigated using a timing control method for valve closing motion. From the obtained experimental results, it is ascertained that optimal values of the phase shift compared to the voltage to drive pump chamber are $15^{\circ}$ for inlet check valve and $195^{\circ}$ for outlet. Based on the obtained results, a sheet-type active shuttle valve that has a unified valve-body for inlet and outlet check valves is proposed. A micropump with an effective size of $10mm{\times}10mm{\times}10mm$ is fabricated and the basic characteristics are experimentally investigated.

Microfluidic single chip integrating thermopneumatic micropump and micro check valve are developed. The micropump and micorvalve are made of biocompatible materials, glass and PDMS, so as to be applicable to the biochip. By using the passive-type check valve, backward flow and fluid leakage are blocked and flow control is stable and precise. The chip is composed of three PDMS layers and a glass substrate. In the chip, flow channel and pump chamber were made on the PDMS layers by the replica molding technique and pump heater was made on the glass substrate by Cr/Au deposition. Diameter of the pump chamber is 7 mm and the width and depth of the channel are 200 and $180{\mu}m$, respectively. The PDMS layers chip and the heater deposited glass chip are combined by a jig and a clamp for pumping operation, and they are separable so that PDMS chip is used as a disposable but the heater chip is able to be used repeatedly. Pumping performance was simulated by CFD software and investigated experimentally. The performance was the best when the duty ratio of the applied voltage to the heater was 33%.

본 논문에서는 압전 작동기로 구동되는 무밸브 마이크로 펌프의 펌프 성능을 계산하였다. 선행연구에서 개발된 마이크로 펌프는 4층의 경량 압전 복합재료 작동기, PDMS로 된 챔버와 2개의 디퓨져로 이루어져 있다. 유한요소 해석은 압전 영역, 구조 영역 및 유체 영역을 완전 연성하여 수행되었다. 구조 및 압전 영역의 해석은 ANSYS를 사용하였으며, 유체영역의 해석은 ANSYS CFX를 사용하여 수행하였다. 작동 주파수가 10 Hz와 40 Hz인 경우에 대한 해석을 수행하여 작동 주파수가 유동 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 또한 300 Hz까지의 유동 해석을 통하여 작동 주파수에 따른 유량을 계산하였다.
