A novel measurement method for the thermal properties of liquids by utilizing a bridge-based micromachined sensor

Abstract: In recent decades, the demands for online monitoring of liquids in various applications have increased significantly. In this context, the sensing of the thermal transport parameters of liquids (i.e. thermal conductivity and diffusivity) may be an interesting alternative to well-established monitoring parameters like permittivity, mass density or shear viscosity. We developed a micromachined thermal property sensor, applicable to non-flowing liquids, featuring three in parallel microbridges, which carry either… Show more

“…During the past two decades several efforts have been made to evaluate viscosity, mass density, permittivity, and thermal conductivity regarding their suitability as monitoring parameters (Jakoby and Vellekoop 2004;Kuntner et al 2006;Kuntner 2008;Beigelbeck et al 2011). While thermal conductivity measurements are traditionally utilized for gas sensing (e.g., gas chromatographs (Grob and Barry 2004)) and permittivity monitoring is commonly used in combination with capacitive-based readout mechanisms (e.g., fuel level indicators (Toth et al 1997;Shi et al 1991)), the focus of interest has clearly shifted to viscosity and mass density detection.…”
