ABSTRACT:
An all solid state transducer and electronic system is disclosed for measuring flow through the use of a small, low temperature heater. The heater transmits an amount of heat to the flowing medium dependent on flow rate. A first temperature sensor is located near the heater and within its thermal influence. A second temperature sensor is thermally isolated from the heater. The heater and first sensor are located relative to each other such that the difference between the temperature sensors is proportional to the logarithm of the flow rate.
