Abstract

Example methods and apparatus for determining fluid parameters are disclosed herein. An example method includes disposing a sensor in a first fluid flow passageway. The sensor has a heater and a temperature sensor. The example method further includes flowing a first fluid into the first fluid flow passageway via a second fluid flow passageway and determining a first fluid property value of the first fluid via the sensor when the first fluid is in the first fluid flow passageway. Based on the first fluid property value, a state of an operation is determined.
