Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Gas flow is calculated by the amount of power needed to maintain the temperature of the heating element. A high gas velocity will cool the heating element, requiring more power to maintain the temperature of the thermistor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Peak flowmeters operate by measuring the gas flow against a rotating vane. Peak flowmeters are usually calibrated in liters per minute.
