  Thermal mass flow-meter particularly for gases - Patent 4972708
However, as the rate of flow increases, the duct is cooled in the zone of the upstream measuring resistor and is additionally heated in the zone of the downstream measuring resistor.
Flow then alters the temperature of the measuring resistor 12a, which is located in the flow, whereas the measuring resistor 12b maintains its temperature due to the fact that it is fitted in a blind-end hole.
When mass flow occurs, the upstream measuring resistor 12a is cooled, and the downstream measuring resistor 12b is heated by the transmission of heat, so that debuting of the measuring bridge 19 and a display at the indicating instrument 20 occurs.
