Developments in Two-Phase Mass Flow Rate Instrumentation

This article concentrates on recent publications about methods used for two-phase mass flow rate measurements. Most of these methods need several measured quantities. Therefore, in the first part, the advances are described which can be achieved by the use of single techniques only. Combinations of several methods are discussed next, and mass flow rate results are presented, which were obtained in different experimental facilities for steady-state and transient flow conditions.
