The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of problems and some research gaps for
better understanding of piezoelectric micropump studies. Micropumps have important and …

The Tesla valve (TV), a valvular conduit invented by Nicola Tesla over a century ago, has
recently acquired significant attention and application in various fields because of the …

Microfluidics has enabled a revolution in the manipulation of small volumes of fluids.
Controlling flows at larger scales and faster rates, or macrofluidics, has broad applications …

Looking to nature for inspiration has led to many diverse technological advances. The spiral
valve intestine of sharks has provided the opportunity to observe the efficiency of different …

ABSTRACT A Tesla valve is a kind of micro-valve without moving parts. Due to the great
difference between the reverse and forward flow, the Tesla valve is often used in passive …

The Tesla–diode valve, with no moving parts, allows restricted flow in one direction. It has
many potential applications in different industrial situations. Despite the application of the …

This article deals with the comparative investigation of instability phenomenon in
supercritical CO 2 based regular natural circulation loop and a new modified Tesla natural …

Tesla valve is a particular check valve that can be used as a fluidic diode, but has no moving
parts, and shows promising applications in macro-and microfluidic systems. Fluidic diode …

Applying hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (HFCVs) is feasible to achieve net zero carbon
emission in transportation sector. The energy density requirements of these vehicles are …

In this study, the Tesla-valve (TV) baffles were used to optimize the flow field in a column
photobioreactor (PBR) in order to promote mass transfer of CO 2 gas in the solution. The TV …
