Research Abstract |
The micro pump is one of the application research and development fields of the MEMS technology. Its fundamental form is proposed from the end of the 1980's to the beginning of the 1990's with the MEMS technology development. The aim of the present study is to design and develop a cylindrical micro pump which is driven by expansion and contraction of the heat deformation material with the aid of heating and cooling properties of Peltier devices. The Peltier devices are periodically heated and cooled and the corresponding heat deformation material unit causes heat expansion and compression. With the aid of these motions, the working fluid filed in the micro-pump flows. The flow phenomenon is disclosed by X-ray apparatus and PIV method.
