This invention discloses a multi-node thin-film
thermocouple temperature measurement structure for total temperature in flow channels, belonging to the field of
temperature measurement technology. It includes a
metal shell and a multi-node temperature-sensing thin-film
thermocouple. The
metal shell has an elongated
airflow hole on its windward side and a fixing groove inside. The thin-film
thermocouple includes a substrate, positive and negative sensitive films, dual hot nodes, and a cold junction. The hot nodes are formed by overlapping the positive and negative films and are arranged on the windward end face. The cold junction is separated and leads out as wires. This invention achieves total
temperature measurement by combining the shell and the thin-film thermocouple to form a stabilization structure. The dual nodes improve spatial resolution. The thin film has a small
thermal mass and a response down to the
microsecond level, capable of capturing transient pulsations. The substrate and film have matched
thermal expansion, resulting in strong high-temperature stability. The structure is compact, with minimal flow field interference and good vibration resistance and sealing. It is suitable for accurate testing of the total temperature of high-temperature, high-speed
airflow in engine flow channels, solving the problems of incomplete, inaccurate, and slow measurement in traditional temperature measurement methods.
