A sensor that could be used as part of the control system for a furnace to monitor the rate at which the heating oil flows along a pipe. The output from the measurement system is to be an electrical signal which can be used to adjust the speed of the oil pump. The system must be capable of operating continuously and automatically, without adjustment, for long periods of time.
1. Suggest a suitable sensor.
2. Draw a schematic circuit for the transducer system with the needed signal conditioning circuit.
