CHARACTERISTICSOFON-WALLIN-TUBEFLEXIBLETHERMAL FLOW SENSOR ATWRAP PIPECONDITION

We previously proposed a noveltypeofon-wall in-tube thermal flexible sensor, and confirmed thatitcanmeasure theflow-rate inbothhydraulically developing andfully-developed conditions (1).Thistime, weinvestigated another outstanding advantage, i.e. thesensor isableto measure theflow-rate ataxially asymmetric flowcondition, andfound that thesensor isapplicable for themeasurement oftheflow-rate inbent tubecondition.
