Abstract
A rotating machine has a stationary portion, and a rotating portion. The stationary portion and the rotating portion having a fluid passage therebetween. The stationary portion comprising a first fluid channel, a well, and a second fluid channel spaced apart from the first fluid channel. The first fluid channel fluidically is coupled to receive fluid from the fluid passage. A sensor is coupled to the stationary portion and is disposed at the well.

A rotating machine comprising:
- a stationary portion;
- a rotating portion, the stationary portion and the rotating portion having a fluid passage therebetween;
- said stationary portion comprising a first fluid channel, a well, and a second fluid channel spaced apart from the first fluid channel, said first fluid channel fluidically coupling to receive fluid from the fluid passage;
- and
- a sensor coupled to the stationary portion and disposed at the well.

A method of determining a temperature for a rotating machine comprising:
- communicating a fluid through a fluid passage between a rotating portion and a stationary portion of the rotating machine;
- communicating the fluid from the fluid passage to a well through a first fluid channel;
- communicating fluid from the well to the fluid passage through a second fluid passage;
- and
- generating a sensor signal at a sensor operably coupled to the well.
