Tool Schematic


One sensor is measuring the intake fluid temperature.

The other sensors is heated with constant power.

The difference between heated and unheated temperature sensors depends on fluid velocity and fluid type:

HEX = T_{\rm heated} - T_{\rm intake}



Mathematical Model

H_{exf} = S_{\rm slope} \cdot ( v - v_{th})
