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...

in this paper, considering the importance of incoming flow turbulence intensity into combustion chamber, tripping wire effect on the flow wake has been experimentally investigated within a linear compressor cascade. to do this, two wires were implemented along each blade and their effects on average velocity, turbulence intensity and vortices frequencies at reynolds number 45500 were accurately...

In order to express explicitly the effect of the angle-errors of setting a hot-wire probe in a flow field on the output of the hot-wire anemometer, approximate hotwire response series equations based on the small angleerror and weak turbulence approximations (called directionerror response equations in this paper) were derived from I-type, slanted-type and X-type hot-wire probes in twodimension...

hot-wire spirometer uses a constant temperature anemometer (cta) for its operation. the working principle of cta, used for the measurement of fluid velocity and flow turbulence, is based on convective heat transfer from a hot-wire sensor to a fluid being measured. the calibration curve of a cta is nonlinear and cannot be easily extrapolated beyond its calibration range. therefore, a method for ...

Injecting a gas into fusion reactors or semiconductor manufacturing systems, one has to quickly control the flow rate by a piezoelectric valve. In order to construct a gas injection system with high speed valves in the future, performance tests have been conducted on a commercial piezoelectric valve. An orifice flowmeter for measuring time average flowrate and a hot wire anemometer for instanta...

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 ...

A fiber-optic anemometer based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is presented. A short section of cobalt-doped fiber was utilized to make a fiber-based "hot wire" for wind speed measurement. Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) were fabricated in the cobalt-doped fiber using 193 nm laser pulses to serve as localized temperature sensors. A miniature all-optical fiber anemometer is constructed by using two F...
