Microfluidics pump technology
characterized by the parameters of pump components and
fluids at the submillimetre scale, has shown considerable
promise for improving diagnostics and biology research.
The main work of this paper is applying Box-Behnken
design to optimize actuator model focuses on the flow
rate in electromagnetic actuation pump. The objective of
the current study is to develop an extraction method for
assessing pump output parameters using response surface
methodology (RSM) optimization. A three-level threefactor Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied for
investigating the interactions between the critical
variables including frequency, voltage and location to
achieve the desired flow rate. Analysis of variance
indicated that the proposed quadratic model successfully
interpreted the experimental data with coefficients of
determination of R2
= 0.55 and adjusted R2
= 0.15.
Through this model, we can predict and control the flow
rate output under different conditions. It may explain
about biofluids interaction with vessels wall such as
actuator, which give rise to the flow characteristic of the
transport role and functionality.
