A new type of a flow sensor is presented which is based on a thermal principle. The combination of two detecting methods results both in a considerable increase in measuring range (0.1 to 150 mm/s) and in a shorter reaction time of less than 2 ms. Furthermore, the sensor is relatively insensitive to pollution. Devices were manufactured and successfully tested for liquids and gases.
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.
