What are the differences between load cells and hot wire anemometers in terms of their applications and functionality?

Load cells are used to measure force or weight, while hot wire anemometers are used to measure air flow velocity. Load cells are typically used in industrial settings to weigh objects or monitor forces, while hot wire anemometers are used in HVAC systems and environmental monitoring to measure air speed. Load cells work by detecting the deformation of a material under force, while hot wire anemometers use a heated wire to measure the cooling effect of air flow.
