Understanding Flow Rate
Flow Rate Fundamentals
Flow rate describes the movement of fluid through a system, measured in volume per unit time or mass per unit time.
Volumetric Flow Rate (Q) = VA
Mass Flow Rate (ṁ) = ρQ
Reynolds Number (Re) = ρVD/μ
where:
- V = velocity
- A = cross-sectional area
- ρ = density
- D = characteristic length
- μ = dynamic viscosity
