Simultaneous measurement of water flow velocity with fluorescent and speckle imaging technique
The average velocity of water flow has been simultaneously measured with fluorescent and speckle imaging methods. The measured velocities with two methods are in good agreement with each other and it confirms that the speckle imaging method can be used as a confident method to measure the velocity of water flow in a dry leaf. Also the velocity of water flow through thick and thin xylems of a le...
متن کاملA Smart Flow Sensor for Flow Direction Measurement
The purpose of this paper is to apply MEMS techniques to manufacture a gas flow sensor that consists with an airflow rate and airflow direction sensing units for detection of airflow states. This study uses a silicon wafer as a substrate which is deposited silicon nitride layers. To form the airflow rate sensing unit, a micro heater and a sensing resistor are manufactured over a membrane that r...
متن کاملLimitations in the Hydraulic Pathway: Effects of Xylem Embolisms on Sap Velocity and Flow
Sap flow in plants takes place in the xylem, a hydraulic system that is usually under negative pressure and in which gas and liquid phases are separated by nanoporous, fibrous pit membranes. It has long been known that this system is at risk of drawing gas nanobubbles through these membranes into the xylem sap, a process referred to as “air seeding”. These bubbles then can cavitate and create e...
متن کاملTransient thermal dissipation method of xylem sap flow measurement: multi-species calibration and field evaluation.
The transient thermal dissipation (TTD) method developed by Do and Rocheteau (2002b) is a close evolution of the original constant thermal dissipation (CTD) method of Granier (1985). The TTD method has the advantage of limiting the influence of passive natural temperature gradients and of yielding more stable zero-flux references at night. By analogy with the CTD method, the transient method wa...
متن کاملSensitive Measurement of Flow Velocity and Flow Direction Using a Circular Thermistor Array
Eight highly sensitive amorphous germanium thermistors (TCR = -1.8%/K) are the sensitive part of the micromachined sensors for flow velocity and flow direction. Carried by a 1.3 μm thick diaphragm they measure temperature differences generated by the sample flow and a heater (430 μW). This allows gas flow measurements in the range from 0.025 m/s to about 3 m/s with a sensitivity of up to 30 mV/...
