Hot wire anemometer is used for the measurement of___________________?
Correct answer: A. Flow rates of fluids
- A. Flow rates of fluids
- B. Flow rates of granular solids
- C. Very high temperature
- D. Thermal conductivity of gases
Explanation
A hot-wire anemometer measures fluid velocity by detecting the cooling of a heated wire, and the velocity can be converted into flow rate. It is not intended for granular-solid flow or direct temperature measurement.
