Miniaturized sensors for the viscosity and density of liquids--performance and issues.
This paper reviews our recent work on vibrating sensors for the physical properties of fluids, particularly viscosity and density. Several device designs and the associated properties, specifically with respect to the sensed rheological domain and the onset of non-Newtonian behavior, are discussed.
