Understanding frequency response of thermal micropumps using electrical network analogy

Abstract: In this article the frequency response of a thermal micropump is investigated using electrical network analogy modeling technique. This technique is based on dividing the micropump into subsystems and representing each subsystem using the equivalent network analogy. Obtained mathematical models of subsystems are then represented using transfer functions and block diagrams. As an example, thermopneumatic micropump is considered. Model simulation suggests an increase in the net flow rates of the micropump as the… Show more

“…Applying Kirchhoff's laws, i.e., flow conservation at any node of the network and no pressure difference along any closed loop, enables the determination of the micropump fluid dynamics during actuation. This method was considered to design different types of micropumps [23,24,[62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70]. The different elements of the fluid pathway are replaced by their equivalent electrical elements and the micropump can be simulated using any electrical circuit simulation tool.…”
