In most contexts a mention of rate of fluid flow is likely to refer to the volumetric rate. In hydrometry, the volumetric flow rate is known as discharge. Volumetric flow rate should not be confused with volumetric flux, as defined by Darcy's law and represented by the symbol q, with units of m 3 /(m 2 ·s), that is, m·s −1. The integration ...
For example, a mass flow rate of 1,000 kg/h of air at 1 atmosphere of absolute pressure is 455 SCFM when defined at 32 °F (0 °C) but 481 SCFM when defined at 60 °F (16 °C). Due to the variability of the definition and the consequences of ambiguity, it is best engineering practice to state what standard conditions are used when communicating ...
Mass flow rate is defined by the limit [3] [4] ˙ = =, i.e., the flow of mass through a surface per time .. The overdot on ˙ is Newton's notation for a time derivative.Since mass is a scalar quantity, the mass flow rate (the time derivative of mass) is also a scalar quantity.
With this conversion from SCCM to kg/s, one can then use available unit calculators to convert kg/s to other units, [5] such as g/s of the CGS system, or slug/s. Based on the above formulas, the relationship between SCCM and molar flow rate in kmol/s is given by
Q r = return sludge flow rate (m 3 /d) X' = MLSS (kg/m 3) X' r = return sludge concentration (kg/m 3) Q s = sludge surplus (or excess) flow rate (m 3 /d) This equilibrium formula for settling tanks is mostly calculated for the initial flows in m3/h. This formula describes that the incoming amount of MLSS in a settler should be equivalent to the ...
If a gaseous emission sample is analyzed and found to contain water vapor and a pollutant concentration of say 40 ppmv, then 40 ppmv should be designated as the "wet basis" pollutant concentration. The following equation can be used to correct the measured "wet basis" concentration to a " dry basis " concentration: [ 3 ]
ρ L is the liquid density in kg/m 3 ρ V is the vapor density in kg/m 3 k = 0.107 m/s (when the drum includes a de-entraining mesh pad) Then the cross-sectional area of the drum can be found from: = ˙ where ˙ is the vapor volumetric flow rate in m 3 /s A is the cross-sectional area of the drum
The discharge formula, Q = A V, can be used to rewrite Gauckler–Manning's equation by substitution for V. Solving for Q then allows an estimate of the volumetric flow rate (discharge) without knowing the limiting or actual flow velocity. The formula can be obtained by use of dimensional analysis.
