A micropump located at (1) and (2) in the lab-on-chip device shown in the figure is used to both pump and mix reagents for a biochemical assay by pumping out of phase of each other. The pumps have the following displacement amplitudes, where the subscripts 1 and 2 represent each pump at the respective location: Y1 = 5sin?(Wit +30°)um yz = 2.5sin?(Wat +60°)um Pump 1 is operated at 50 Hz and pump two is operated at 100 Hz. What will be the maximumnvolume flow rate of pump 1? The pumps are a square membrane 0.5mm by 0.5mm, width and length, respectively. (a) Both pumps are active (b) Only pump 2 is active (c) Fully mixed reagents Mixing two fluids in a "lab-on-a-chip."
