    An overview of thermal mass flowmeters applicability in oil and gas industry
    (Elsevier, 2017) Amina, Bekraoui; Ahmed, Hadjadj
    Measuring and modeling flow has played a central role in predicting its behavior and its effects on the surroundings. Flow measurement is the basis of trade between producers, transporters, process plants, state and public marketers. To improve transactional operation, thermal flowmeters could provide direct mass flow measurement of gases and vapors over a wide range of process conditions without the need for density corrections based on pressure and temperature. The flow meters are classified according to the domain in which they are used and their operating principle. The goal of this work is to provide an overview of using thermal flow meter in hydrocarbons industries. The applicability of thermal flow meters is discussed by a simulation using one-dimensional mathematical model of thermal flow sensor
