Flow investigation of a miniature pulsatile pump

Pumps have been in existence for a very long time, and there are currently many applications that use them, the size of the pumps also varies for different applications. For example, irrigation usually calls for large pumps while for pharmaceutical applications, the size of the pumps are small. A...
