Digital technique for the simultaneous measurement of velocity and temperature

A computer-oriented, hot-wire anemometer technique for the simultaneous measurement of velocity and temperature in heated turbulent flows is described. This technique involves conversion of analogue anemometer voltage signals into digital forms and processing of these latter on a digital computer, in accordance with the anemometer response equations, to obtain instantaneous temperature and velocity. The technique was tested with a heated plane jet and found to be satisfactory.
