Abstract
A total temperature probe with a complimentary sensor cavity for measuring multiple properties of a fluid flowing rapidly through the probe. The probe includes a sensor housing for diverting a portion of the rapidly flowing fluid into a primary flow path. A sample chamber within the probe houses a total temperature probe and is configured to divert a portion of the rapidly flowing fluid from a primary flowpath. An ancillary chamber adjacent to the sample chamber is configured to house an additional sensor and to divert a portion of the rapidly flowing fluid from the sample chamber. In some embodiments, the ancillary chamber diverts fluid directly from the rapidly flowing fluid. Preferably, the sensor housed within the ancillary chamber measures the water vapor level within the rapidly flowing fluid.
