How does a car measure the outside temperature at speed, without it skewing for windchill or engine/surface heat?
In: 92
Heated objects such as people, vehicles and buildings maintain a set temperature. Wind increases convective heat transfer, the heater in the people, vehicles and buildings need to work harder as wind increases to maintain the set point temperature.
They place the sensor a for a vehicle a few inches in front of the radiator and calibrate it for that location. Wind is blowing on the sensor prior to cooling the radiator.
