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.

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.
