Can a Cylindrical Thermistor be Used to Build a Fuel Flow Meter?

AI Thread Summary
A cylindrical thermistor can potentially be used to build a fuel flow meter, but specific application details are crucial for effective implementation. Clarification is needed on whether a hollow or solid cylinder is intended for the design. The sensitivity of the thermistor is a concern, as it may struggle to detect fuel flow unless the fuel is significantly heated. Further discussion on the application context and requirements would enhance the feasibility assessment. Overall, careful consideration of thermistor specifications and design parameters is essential for successful integration.

Can you be a bit more specific, please? Do you mean a hollow cylinder to fit around a fuel line, or a solid cylinder to fit within a particular space, or what? Also, how is this to be applied? You might have trouble finding a thermister sensitive enough to notice fuel flowing past unless it's really hot. Not sure about that, though.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
