1 - A paddle-wheel placed in the fuel circuit of a gas turbine engine initially measures:
a) mass flow by a tally of the impulses.
b) volumetric flow by a tally of the impulses.
c) volumetric flow by measure of a voltage proportional to the rotational speed.
d) mass flow by measure of a voltage proportional to the rotational speed.
2 - When compared with the volumetric fuel flowmeter, the mass fuel flowmeter takes
into account the fuel:
a) temperature.
b) density.
c) pressure.
d) di-electrical constant.
3 - The operating principle of flow meters, or "unit flowmeters," the most commonly
used at the present time, is to measure across their system the:
a) volume and viscosity of the fuel.
b) pressure and temperature of the fuel.
c) volumetric mass and di-electric resistance of the fuel.
d) quantity of fuel movement.
