Introduction
Thermal inertial sensors, also known as thermal accelerometers or
temperature sensors, are instrumental in real-time applications for monitoring and analyzing temperature variations. Unlike traditional temperature sensors, which measure instantaneous temperature, thermal inertial sensors provide insights into the rate of temperature change over time. This unique capability makes them indispensable in various industries and domains. In real-time implementations, these sensors are integrated into systems and devices to provide continuous monitoring and analysis of temperature dynamics.

Working principle Temperature Sensing Element: Thermal inertial sensors typically consist of a temperature sensing element, which could be a thermistor, thermocouple, or a MEMS-based sensor.
Heat Transfer Mechanism: When the temperature of the sensing element
changes, heat is either absorbed or released by the material, depending on whether the temperature is increasing or decreasing.
Measurement of Temperature Change Rate: The sensor measures the rate of
temperature change over time. This is achieved by monitoring the heat flow into or out of the sensing element.

Calculation of Thermal Inertia: By analyzing the rate of temperature change, the sensor can determine the thermal inertia of the surrounding environment or object being monitored.
Conversion to Output Signal: The sensor converts the measured temperature
change rate into an electrical signal, which can be further processed and interpreted by electronic circuits or microcontrollers.
Output Interpretation: The output signal can be used to indicate temperature
trends, detect anomalies, or trigger control actions in real-time applications.
