Design and Optimization of a Low Power and Fast Response Viscometer used for Determination of the Natural Gas Wobbe Index

This paper reports on the design of a microsystem-based thermal gas viscometer used for the determination of the quality of natural gas and its optimization through modification of its two main components: the hotplate and the capillary tube. Features, such as ultra-low power consumption (95%), robustness, and cost-effective mass production are the ...
