Combustion Apparatus with Mass Flow Sensor

Various embodiments include a combustion apparatus. An example apparatus includes: a burner; a side duct; and a feed duct. The side duct comprises an inlet, an outlet, and a mass flow sensor between the inlet and the outlet of the side duct. The mass flow sensor is configured to detect a signal corresponding to an amount of flow of a fluid through the side duct. The side duct comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the side duct comprises the mass flow sensor. The first portion of the side duct is arranged within the feed duct.
