Transient thermal response of a hot-wire anemometer

The ability of a thermal anemometry system to accurately measure unsteady fluid velocity depends on the electrical control system as well as the thermal properties of the sensor. The present work is a numerical study of the thermal transient response of a hot-wire. A conventional constant temperature anemometer with an ideal feedback amplifier as well as a pulse width modulated system were used...

The Hot - wire Anemometer for Turbulence Measurements part III

Kinematics Analysis of a Four Legged Robot Suspended on Wire

Some theoretical and experimental studies have been developed to obtain independent equipment for inspection and maintenace of electric and communication lines, allowing to increase the efficiency of the process and to reduce the risk of accidents with the employees who execute the task. This activity is perfectly adequate for mobile robots because they are capable to move in avoiding the exist...

An Adaptive Response Compensation Technique for the Constant-Current Hot-Wire Anemometer

An adaptive response compensation technique has been proposed to compensate for the response lag of the constant-current hot-wire anemometer (CCA) by taking advantage of digital signal processing technology. First, we have developed a simple response compensation scheme based on a precise theoretical expression for the frequency response of the CCA (Kaifuku et al. 2010, 2011), and verified its ...

Optimization of Single-Sensor Two-State Hot-Wire Anemometer Transmission Bandwidth

Hot-wire anemometric measurements of non-isothermal flows require the use of thermal compensation or correction circuitry. One possible solution is a two-state hot-wire anemometer that uses the cyclically changing heating level of a single sensor. The area in which flow velocity and fluid temperature can be measured is limited by the dimensions of the sensor's active element. The system is desi...
