Anemometers thermistor

Fujita H, et al. 1995. A thermistor anemometer for low— flow-rate measurement. IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 44(3) 779-782. 

There are many different types of anemometers for measuring air speed. Desirable features for assessing thermal conditions are portability, durability, and mggedness. Also important are having a nondirectional sensor, sensitivity at low speeds, and fast response time. Instruments with a heated sensing device (heated thermocouple, heated thermistor, or hot wire) provide these features. 

Heat Based Anemometer Heated wire, thermocouple or thermistor anemometers measure air velocity, temperature or static pressure. Some types make nondirectional air velocity measurements. 

Air velocities can be measmed by a variety of instruments but vane anemometers and heated head (hot wire or thermistor) air meters are the most common. Vane anemometers Figure 3.6.7) have a rotating windmill type head coupled to a meter and are most suitable for use in open...
