Abstract
There are two alternative ways to tackle the problem of measuring mass flowrate. One is to design a meter whose response is a function of mass flowrate only, so that a knowledge of the physical properties of the fluid is not necessary. Such meters are known as ‘true mass flowmeters’.
The job was a job that just couldn’t be done
But it had to be done, and he knew it.
So he tackled that job that just couldn’t be done
—And found that he couldn’t do it!
