1. An alginate hydrogel-based thin-film heat flux sensor for billet crystallizer, comprising:
an alginate hydrogel substrate;
wherein the alginate hydrogel substrate is configured in a U-shaped planar structure; the U-shaped planar structure comprises a first side and a second side, and the first side is longer than the second side; an inner surface of the alginate hydrogel substrate is provided with a first film thermocouple and a second film thermocouple; and the first film thermocouple is in crosslinking connection with the second film thermocouple.
