What is Flow Sensor & its Applications?
Have your heard of a flow sensor before? If your answer is no, do not worry; you will become acquainted with what is flow sensor. Also, you will become acquainted with the applications of flow sensors. Now, let’s slow our pace a bit; it will be good to have an overview of what a flow sensor is all about before exploring flow sensor applications. Actually, it takes a proper understanding of what the flow sensor is all about in order to know its applications. A simple definition of a flow sensor is this: a device that is used to measure the flow rate of fluids (gas or liquid). You may have assumed that a flow sensor measures only the flow rate of liquids because you thought the term “fluid” applies to liquids alone. Well, if flow sensor was a principle or device in the biological science, then, you may be right. But, a flow sensor is a device whose origin is in the physical sciences particularly physics, or an applied science like engineering. In physics, fluid can mean either liqui...
