  • Abstract
    With the development of new technology, MEMS thermal flow meter has been rapidly developed. But the existing single-heater models, limit its scope of use, cannot measure high-volume gas flow. In order to change the status, a double-heater structure is presented in this paper, the results of simulation and analysis show that this structure can greatly improve the performance of flow meters.
