Abstract
A device for determining at least one parameter of a medium flowing in a line, in particular for determining the air mass flow rate in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, which include a line componentand a sensor devicehaving a bypass part, are known. To prevent separation of the flow at the sidewalls of the bypass part, it is provided that a flow diversion elementbe positioned in the line componentupstream from the bypass partwith respect to the main flow directionand have at least one diversion surfacefacing the main flow direction, which, starting from an apex linelocated at a distance from the bypass part, curves evenly on both sides toward the two sidewallsso that the endsof the diversion surfacefacing away from the apex line are aligned with the sidewalls
