HOT-WIRE MEASUREMENTS WITH AUTOMATIC COMPENSATION OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CHANGES
ABSTRACT
A single sensor hot-wire device with automatic temperature compensation for velocity measurements is developed. Experience in measuring the velocity and temperature in a flow with variable temperature using self-made hot-wire equipment and probes is discussed. Results of the corresponding methodical experiments are presented.
