Definition

flow rate controlling capability that is a function of a material artifact or engineered system

Semi-Formal Definition:

every instance of ‘flow rate controlling function’ is exactly an instance of ‘flow rate controlling capability’ that is the ‘function of’ some entity that is a ‘material artifact’ or an ‘engineered system’

Examples

• the flow rate controlling function of a chromatography system to control mobile-phase flow during column operation; the flow rate controlling function of a mass-flow controller to control gas flow into a bioreactor; the flow rate controlling function of a feed-pump system to control nutrient-feed flow during a fed-batch cultivation process
