Abstract
Example methods and apparatus for analyzing operations are disclosed herein. An example method includes disposing a sensor in a fluid flow passageway. The sensor has a heater and a temperature sensor. The example method further includes obtaining a first response of the sensor to a fluid flowing in the fluid flow passageway and transmitting a signal to a tool to operate the tool. Operation of the tool is to affect a fluid parameter of the fluid. The example method also includes obtaining a second response of the sensor to the fluid flowing in the fluid flow passageway and determining if the tool has operated based on the first response and the second response.
