Claim 13:
14. A method for material composition detection, the method comprising:
holding or transporting a quantity of a fluid composition within a vessel, the fluid composition having at least a first fluid and a second fluid;
emitting at least one acoustic signal into the vessel with at least one acoustic transducer positioned on an exterior sidewall of the vessel; and
determining, using a processor of a computerized device in communication with the at least one acoustic transducer, at least one metric of a property of the first fluid based on a first signal of the at least one acoustic transducer;
determining, using the processor of a computerized device, at least one metric of a property of the second fluid based on a second signal of the at least one acoustic transducer;
determining, using the processor of the computerized device, at least one metric of a property of the fluid composition at a point in time based on the metrics of the first and second fluids, and at least a determinable volume of at least a portion of the vessel; and
determining, using the processor of the computerized device, a material identity of the fluid composition at the point in time based on the property of the fluid composition.
