Extract

The Ewing Flowmeter is a device which may be inserted in a circuit through which liquid is flowing, to give a continuous indication of the rate of flow of the liquid.

The authors, acting on behalf of the Engineering Committee of the Food Investigation Board, have carried out some further experiments, the results of which confirm and supplement those of Sir Alfred Ewing, described by him to the Society in June 1925 (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., vol. xlv, p. 308). They have also endeavoured to discuss the results by applying the theory of similitude.
