A new integrated nozzle-flapper valve equipped with a piezoelectric actuator and an isothermal chamber has been developed and studied in• Its dynamics were improved using an isothermal chamber.• A stacked piezoelectric actuator was utilized to actuate the proposed valve.• A sliding mode approach was used to precisely control the output flow rate or pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
