ABSTRACT:
A first heating resistor is placed in a fluid flow path. A second heating resistor is placed downstream of the first heating resistor. A power supply unit supplies power to each of the first and second heating resistors. A measuring unit measures directly or indirectly a heating factor value of each of the first and second heating resistors. A subtracting unit subtracts the heating factor value of the first heating resistor from the heating factor value of the second heating resistor. A calculating unit performs one of multiplication and division on the subtracting result and the heating factor value of one of the first and second heating resistors.
