A hot-wire viscosity sensor was used in a flowing system by using a shield with low thermal conductivity (acrylic resin), which surrounded the hot-wire sensor to remove the effect of the flow outside of the shield. Because of the low thermal conductivity of the shield material, the sensor response was not influenced by the flow outside of the shield. Although a thermal steady state was not attained because the hot-wire sensor was insulated from the bulk fluid during the measurement, two indices, the zero-extrapolated temperature in the natural convection period (ΔTa) and the onset temperature of the natural convection period (ΔTb), were obtained from the analysis of the sensor response. These two indices showed good correlation with the viscosity of the test fluid. The present technique eliminates the major drawback of the hot-wire viscosity sensor, i.e. applicability only to the stagnant system.
