Aiming at the defects of current thermal mass flow sensor, we developed a novel thermal gas mass flowmeter based on the principle of constant power, which consists of semiconductor sensors and a microcontroller as the core controller. The design plan is carried out on the basis of simple structure and reasonable cost, which maximizes accuracy and reliability of the flowmeter. The experimental results verify that the flow meter is running well and achieves the overall performance goals of the plan.

High temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (HT PEMFCs) offer tremendous flexibility when used as energy converters in stationary as well as mobile power devices. Coupling HT PEMFC stacks with fuel processors that use liquid as well as gaseous fuels to generate hydrogen rich gas is a promising prospect, which paves the way for a possible hydrogen economy. The current paper deals with the performance aspects of a 150 Wel HT PEMFC stack, which potentially could be coupled to (i) a natural gas reformer, (ii) a propane reformer, or (iii) a methanol reformer. A 12 cell HT PEMFC stack with a total active area of about 600 cm2 was operated in a test rack, and the results show that HT PEMFCs are principally suited for operation with reformates.

An innovative rapid prototyping technique for embedding microcomponents in PDMS replicas was developed and applied on a thermal mass flowmeter for closed loop micropump flowrate control. Crucial flowmeter design and thermal parameters were investigated with a 3-D fully coupled electro-thermal-fluidic model which was built in Comsol Multiphysics 5.2. The flowmeter was characterized for three distinct measuring configurations. For precise low flowrate applications, a sensor-heater-sensor flowmeter configuration with a constant heater temperature was found to be the most appropriate yielding the measuring range of 0 to 90 µL·min-1 and the sensitivity of 1.3 °C·µL−1·min in the lower flowrate range of 0 to 40 µL·min−1.
