The definition of the linear peristaltic pump geometrical parameters using the developed calculation procedure of its performance
The technique of the design calculation of the peristaltic pump with the linear placed tube and three plates, which compress it in the cross direction is presented in the work. The technique is based on the quasisteady model of calculation of the pump characteristics with the composition of the Bernoulli equation for the each plate movement. The definition of the peristaltic pump geometrical parameters occurs via the bisection scaling numerical method. The calculations series for both complete and incomplete tube compress by using the written program were carried out. The calculations results show, that the application of the presented technique is restricted by the accepted assumptions.
