  • Acoustic fluid flow monitoring
    Patent number: 5285675
    Abstract: A method of measuring the flow and composition of a fluid or mixture of fluids through a system by determining the temperature, pressure and speed of sound in the fluid or mixture of fluids in the system and calculating the flow, molar density and average molecular weight of the fluid from the equation: ##EQU1## wherein: ##EQU2## c=speed of sound P=pressure of the fluidT=temperature of the fluid.rho.=molecular density of the fluidM=average molecular weight of the fluid.phi.=velocity potentialt=time.
