TABLE I.

Comparison of LDMP and PDMPs with different DIP count. Here, we assume the pump DC dimensions are the same for LDMP and PDMPs, and that $V_{mixer}=N\times V_{pump}$.

	Inlet	DCs	Outlet	Pneumatic	Shortest time to
	valves		valves	Lines	fill up mixer
DMP	2	2	2	10	$N/2\times {\tau }_{pump}$
PDMP (1 DIP)	2	1	1	8	$N\times {\tau }_{pump}$
PDMP (2 DIPs)	4	2	1	10	$N/2\times {\tau }_{pump}$
PDMP (4 DIPs)	8	4	1	14	$N/4\times {\tau }_{pump}$
