Q1. How a flowmeter works
Ans. 
A flowmeter measures the flow rate of a fluid or gas by detecting the velocity of the flow.
• Flowmeters can use various technologies such as ultrasonic, electromagnetic, thermal, or differential pressure.

• The flowmeter measures the velocity of the flow and calculates the flow rate based on the cross-sectional area of the pipe.

• Some flowmeters have a display that shows the flow rate in units such as liters per minute or cub
