Continuity equation (module 4) Flashcards
1
Q
What is velocity?
A
Velocity is the rate of change of the displacement, the difference between the final and initial position of an object.
2
Q
What is volumetric flow rate? (Q)
A
the volume of fluid which passes per unit time
3
Q
what is the symbol for volumetric flow rate?
A
Q
4
Q
What is the equation for volumetric flow rate (Q)?
A
Q= volume of air/ per unit time or Q=V/T
Q= velocity X cross-sectional area flow rate
5
Q
What are the units for flow rate?
A
ft^3/min
6
Q
What does the conservation of matter mean?
A
you can’t get out more (or less) than you put in…
7
Q
What is the mass flow rate equation?
A
M (is constant)= density x volumetric flow rate
8
Q
What is the volumetric flow rate equation?
A
volumetric flow rate= m/density (constant)
