Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is mass flow rate unit?

• The mass flow rate is the mass of a substance that passes per unit of time. It is measured in kilogram per second units.

• How do you calculate a flow rate?

• To calculate a flow rate use the formula Q = V/t, where V is the volume and t is the time, or by using the formula Q = A×v, where A​ is the cross-sectional area at a point in the path of the flow and ​v​ is the velocity of the liquid.

• What is the basic Bernoulli principle?

• Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid (liquid or gas) occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. Within a horizontal flow of fluid through a pipe, points of higher fluid speed will have less pressure than points of slower fluid speed.
