Measurement and modeling of pulsed mode flow meter for liquids based on a single chip probe

A non linear ADC for sensor linearization

“…In this example we have used the described architecture to linearize the response of a recently proposed flow sensor for liquids [4]. Electrical simulations were performed by the ELDO TM program.…”

“…A frequent specification for these components is a linear relationship between the sensed physical quantity and the output digital code. Unfortunately, the response of many sensors, such as capacitive pressure sensors [3] and flow meters [4] is nonlinear. In the VLSI era, the flexibility, reliability and total temperature independence of digital processing is generally preferred to the traditional ad hoc analog linearization networks; however, in simple sensor interfaces, this is not always the optimum solution.…”

Modelling and evaluation of a thermal microfluidic sensor fabricated on plastic substrate

“…A very common tool used in order to achieve flowsystem optimization is the development of simulation models (Dijkstra et al 2008;Bruschi et al 2006;Rasmussen et al 2001). The processing of the derived results enables a detailed insight on the effect that independent structural and operational parameters have on the overall sensor performance, subsequently allowing appropriate tuning in order to improve device performance.…”

Design Anemometer with Transistor

“…Some researcher [3] use this method for liquids. The wire which have electrical current, if puts on flow, some thermal power disappear.…”
