Abstract

This paper summarises a study which aims to develop and analyze the performance of the valveless impedance pump. Mechanism of valveless impedance pump is to apply acoustic impedance mismatch in order to drive the flow and also consists of a flexible connection at the ends to the more rigid sections. Characteristics of liquid velocity and pressure at the pump base valveless impedance at various supply voltage and different frequencies have been discovered through experimentation. Secondly, this research also aims to discuss the effect volume flow rate (millitres / min) in the elastic tube impedance based on different parameters of the pump pinch. The variation of pinch location and pinch width are also available through the results of this study. This study begins with the design set up to use the software and followed by installing all equipment used for the experiments. Then, this study continues to get results and make an analysis of the impedance pump by experimentation. Results found that all the parameters used in this experiment affect the flow rate in the impedance pump. Additional experiments on the effect of the thickness of the flexible tube on the flow rate gave lower values when the flexible tube is relatively thicker.
