An analysis of Coriolis mass flow chips with a bypass

In this report a study is done on the behavior of a Coriolis mass flow sensor chip with bypass tubes. The goal of this report is to obtain a model that can predict the ratio of the bypass flow compared to the Coriolis sensor tube flow. For verification this model is tested by measuring said Coriolis mass flow sensor chips and comparing these measurements to the model. This is at the same time also a test report for these chips. Furthermore an analysis is done on how to improve the predicted behavior. An overview of the measurement set-up is presented and the background of the workings behind a Coriolis mass flow sensor chip. The outcome of this research is that the model can give a reasonable prediction on flows, but is not entirely verified yet.
