In brief
Thermal mass flowmeters rely on heat transfer effects for determining the flow rate of a fluid. They are based on either the calorimetric or thermal dispersion principle. Types include hot wire anemometers, bypass, and inline/insertion meters, each with trade-offs in sensitivity and installation complexity.
As a distinct class of flowmeters,
