1. A method for determining stress caused by thermal loads in a system containing fluid, said method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) detecting temperature data from a plurality of externally mounted temperature sensors to determine a spatial distribution of fluid temperature for at least one positional within the system, the externally mounted temperature sensors at each position defining a plane substantially perpendicular to the flow direction; and

    (b) calculating stress on the system in dependence upon the spatial distribution of fluid temperature for the at least one position.
