Innovative Mass Air Flow Measurement

The purpose of this project is to design and fabricate innovative air flow lab equipment using standard, low-cost components.The major equipment components are automotive mass air flow (MAF) sensors and an M68HC11EVB evaluation board.Students using the equipment will take voltage readings from an LED display of the microcontroller based output of the lab system.The MAF results will also be compared to mass air flow measurements taken from standard flow rate devices such as an orifice meter, rotameter or other reference flow rate devices.This lab equipment was designed to be used by the engineering students in courses ranging from the freshman introductory class through senior level courses.
