Examples of Small Commercially Available and “Academic Research” Pumps
A variety of pumps suitable for transferring gas and liquids have been
presented along with fluid dynamic operating equations.
Some of these pumps are of normal scale and others are fabricated on a
microfluidic – micropump scale.
