Abstract
Valveless pumps are gaining importance in various fields. However, the reflux phenomenon can reduce pump performance and limit its application. This article proposes a dual outlet composite drainage structure valve-less piezoelectric pump with multiple semicircular arc structures within the flow channel to address this issue. The operating methods are explained, and the pump output flow rate formulation has been derived. The ANSYS CFX was used to simulate flow conditions in various directions. A prototype pump was then produced and tested using 3D printing technology. The results show that the flow rate gets a maximum state of 189.6 mL/min under a voltage of 200 V and a frequency of 50 Hz.
