Abstract
A fuel cell system comprising a controller, a temperature sensor that has a physical presence in a conduit within the system to measure the temperature of the fluid at a point within the conduit (T) and a wall temperature sensor for sensing a temperature of a wall of the conduit (T). The controller takes Tand Tas inputs and applies an equation with known constants to calculate measurement error of Tbased on the local flow temperature and geometry and arrives at a calculated temperature. The equation may be applied iteratively until the difference between the calculated temperature and Tis below an acceptable value when the calculated temperature can then be assumed to be an accurate representation of the actual gas temperature at the Tmeasurement point. The direction of calculation is controlled by the relative difference between Tand T.
