1. A method for estimating a parameter relating to solids recovered from a wellbore, comprising:
separating the solids from a drilling fluid recovered from the wellbore;
flowing the solids at a constant velocity through a microwave field;
generating signals by a sensor assembly representative of a mass of the flowing solids, wherein the sensor assembly is calibrated to only measure moving solids as opposed to deposits and/or build ups; and
estimating a mass flow rate of the solids using the generated signals.
