Air Flow Measurement

[Robert McElroy]

The main reason I don't want to use an existing MAF sensor is that I don't have one
to play with.  Also, I am under the impression that most heated-wire MAF's output
a frequency signal.  Since I am a mechanical engineer and don't have much knowledge
when it comes to A/D conversion techniques, I would prefer to use a sensor that will
output a voltage signal (something I am slightly familiar with.)

(Nobody that I know is completely happy with MS Exchange.  However, at work
interoffice e-mail is sent through MS Mail, so using MS Exchange (or MS Mail
client software) is the only choice available to us.)

Knowing velocity and area allows the determination of
volumetric flow rate.  (This assumes the velocity
measurement adequately represents the real velocity
profile over the entire flow area.)  Density must still
be known to determine mass flow rate.

Density can be determined if barometric pressure and 
temperature are know.  At this point though, is it any
less of a hassle than a MAF sensor?

(Again, sorry for the lack of context.  I'm completely
underwhelmed by Microsoft Exchanges abilities.)
