Once Aditya went to a school of adiwasi children. There he taught them about electricity. Later he liked the contents and way he had delivered the lectures. So he decided to write a book. "VEEJ" In Marathi and "BIJLEE" in Hindi

Title: Coriolis Mass Flow Meter
Abstract: The accurate and quick measurement of small mass flow rates (~10 mg/s) of fluids is considered an “enabling technology” in semiconductor, fine-chemical, and food & drugs industries. Flowmeters based on the Coriolis effect offer the most direct sensing of the mass flow rate, and for this reason do not need complicated translation or linearization tables to compensate for other physical parameters (e.g. density, state, temperature, heat capacity, viscosity, etc.) of the medium that they measure. This also makes Coriolis meters versatile – the same instrument can (without re-calibration) measure hydrogen at one instant and honey the next.
Coriolis meters scale poorly, however; the challenge to systematically design a Coriolis meter for low flows is dealt with in this research. A mechatronics approach adopted from the inception and the use of novel concepts alongside proven design and construction principles is presented.
A fully working prototype is presented as a test case to assess the effectiveness of the concepts and design choices.
