A fine hot-wire is used both as a heating element and a temperature sensor in transient hot-wire method. The traditional sensor system is unnecessarily big so that it takes large fluid volume to measure the thermal conductivity. To dramatically reduce this fluid volume, a new sensor fabrication and a data processing method are proposed in this article. Contrast to the conventional and most popular two wire sensor, the new sensor system is made up of divided multiple long and short wires. Through validation experiments, it is found that the measured thermal conductivities of the glycerin are exactly same each other between the conventional and proposed new method. Also some technical considerations in arranging the multiple wires are briefly discussed.

난류 경계층 내부 와류 구조물 형상을 측정하기 위해 열선 유속계(Hot-wire sensor)를 스테퍼 모터 컨트롤러(Stepper motor controller)에 고정하여 측정 지점으로 이동시켰다. 유동장 내 표면 근처 유속은 상대적으로 느려 차후 측정 데이터 해석 시 신호처리 과정에서 전자파 간섭으로 민감하게 반응하게 된다. 전자파 잡음은 주로 컴퓨터나 기타 전자 장비의 전원 공급에서 발생하는데, 실험 장비 중 전원이 활성화된 스테퍼 모터(Stepper motor)에서 전자파 잡음이 열선 유속계와 연결된 BNC 케이블로 유입되었다. 이는 열선 유속계를 이동시키기 위해 모터 컨트롤러(Motor controller)에 전원 공급이 인가되면, 오실로스코프 화면에 전자파 잡음이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 열선 유속계에서 측정된 데이터에 예상치 못한 잡음이 포함될 가능성이 있으므로, 이를 감소시키고 측정 과정에서 신호대 잡음비(Signal-to -Noise Ratio, SNR)를 향상하도록 연결 케이블을 차폐시키고 전자파가 차단되는 컴퓨터로 교체하였다.

Easy measurement method of orthogonal triple-sensor hot-wire anemometer is developed. Advantages of the new method is that it does not require either the exact orthogonality of the installed wires which cannot be kept during the probe manufacture and repair, nor the knowledge of the wire installation angles and the yaw and pitch coefficient of the wires. The new method introduced yaw and pitch calibration coefficients which are designed to increase monotonically with yaw and pitch angles. So the resulting calibration network is simple to recognize compared with that of the previously suggested calibration method. Verification experiments showed good accuracy and independency of the directional calibration on velocity.

Hot-wire anemometers are most commonly used in measuring hood capture velocities due to their accuracy and convenience. But it was questionable that the anemometers being used in the field are accurate enough for the purpose of measurements. To answer this ques tion, a calibration wind tunnel was newly devised and tested. Subsequently, 53 hot-wire anemometers being currently used in the field were tested to evaluate the accuracy of anemometers. The average error was 16.93% while the average errors in the low (0.5~5m/s) and high (5~20m/s) velocity range were 17.40% and 16.45%, respectively. Most of anemometers underestimated the true velocities. It might be due to the contamination of hot-wire, resulting in the slow heat transfer between the sensor and air flow. Astonishingly, 16 of 53 anemometers were out of order due to the malfunctioning of zero adjustment control, power supply, display panel and sensor. It is desirable to calibrate periodically and clean the sensor after using in the dirty environment.

A new hardware temperature compensation method for hot-wire anemometer is investigated and an analog compensating circuit is proposed in this article. A photoconductive cell is introduced here as a variable resistor in the anemometer bridge and the linearized output of a thermistor is used to monitor the input of the photoconductive cell. In contrast with the conventional method, any type of temperature sensor can be used for compensation if once the output of thermometer varies linearly with temperature. So the present technique can diversify the compensating means from a conventional passive compensating resistance to currently available thermometers. Because the resistance of a photoconductive cell can be set precisely by adopting a stabilizing circuit whose operation is based on the integration function of the operational amplifier, the accuracy of compensation can be enhanced. As an example of linearized thermometer, thermistor sensor whose output is linearized by a series resistor was used to monitor the fluid temperature variation. Validation experiment is conducted in the temperature ranged from 30 deg. C to 60 deg. C and the velocity up to 40 m/s. It is found that the present technique can be adopted as a compensating circuit for anemometer and hot-wire type airflow meter.

The purpose of this study is to perform modelings and experiments to measure air flow rate using hot-wires and a CTA(Constant Temperature Anemometer). The flow rate can be obtained by measuring the heat loss of the hot-wire due to the variations of flow velocity when the hot-wire is maintained at uniform temperature. But the defect of this method is that the output signal changes not only by the flow rate but also by the ambient temperature. Thus, in the present study, a method which compensates the variations of the ambient temperature has been introduced to measure exact flow rate. To be more specific, the bridge circuit of the usual hot-wire anemometer system has been modified in such a way that a temperature resistance sensor and a variable resistance are placed in one of the legs to compensate the different temperature coefficients of both the hot-wire and the temperature compensating resistance for flow velocity or for flow mass up to the flow temperature of 50 .deg.C. Comparing the modeling and experimental results, it has been shown that the compensating point differs as the flow rate varies. Therefore, optimum compensation points are sought to construct the circuit. The present modeling and experimental results may be applied to the design of actual air flow meters for automobiles.

유체의 흐름을 측정하는 여러 방법 중 열선 풍속 센서는 유체의 열전달에 의해 속도나 온도를 측정하는 장치로 비정상 속도 및 난류 속도 성분을 측정하는데 유용하다. 하지만 열선 풍속 센서는 외부의 환경 요인에 민감하며, 주변 온도, 습도, 신호 잡음 등에 의해 정확도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이런 단점을 보완하는 방법으로 온도 보상 회로를 추가하는 기술이 나오고 있지만 가격 경쟁력을 갖출 수 없는 상황이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 온도 보상이 필요 없는 풍속 감지 센서에 대해 연구를 진행하였다. 열선식 풍속 센서는 외부 환경 요인 중에서도 주변 온도에 매우 취약하다. 주변 온도로는 전자 회로에 의한 발열의 영향이 가장 크게 미치고 있으며, 이를 개선하는 방법으로 발열체에 보조 발열체를 추가로 장착하여 보조발열체와 발열체의 일정한 온도차를 제어하는 것이다. 이와 같이 기존 기술에 비해 복잡하지 않은 방법으로 동등한 성능을 확보할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

We propose and implement a single-wire communication protocol for thermal management systems using thin film thermoelectric modules for 3D IC cooling. The proposed single-wire communication protocol connects the temperature sensors, located near hot spots, to measure the local temperature of the chip. A unique ID number identifying the location of each hot spot is assigned to each temperature sensor. The prototype chip was fabricated by a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS MPW process, and the operation of the chip is verified.
