Description
Summary:This paper describes the design of a silicon chip that integrates multiple sensors together to monitor a variety of fluid quality parameters. The MEMS universal fluid quality interrogation sensor (MUFINS) eliminates the need to design a new chip for every fluid that requires quality control. The MUFINS chip is capable of measuring temperature, viscosity, liquid level, humidity, conductivity, pH, chlorine, and optical properties such as color and turbidity.
