A MEMS Body Fluid Flow Sensor

Project Abstract

To achieve in vitro flow rate measurements of biological fluids in such tasks as hematological studies and urinalysis, a MEMS flow sensor has been developed. Flow sensing is achieved by measuring the forced convective heat transfer from a thermal sensing element to the fluid. Currently, fluid flow down to 10 ml/min can be detected.
