Mass Flow Rate Calculator
A Mass Flow Rate Calculator determines the mass of a substance flowing through a system per unit of time. It is typically used in engineering, fluid dynamics, and industrial applications.
Why Use a Mass Flow Rate Calculator?
- Helps in engineering & manufacturing to optimize processes.
- Used in aerospace & automotive for fuel consumption analysis.
- Essential in HVAC & chemical industries to control fluid flow.
How Does It Work?
- Input variables:
- Density (ρ) of the fluid (kg/m³)
- Volumetric Flow Rate (Q) (m³/s)
- Velocity (v) and cross-sectional area (A) (if needed)
- Uses the formula:
m˙=ρQ
or
m˙=ρAv
where m ˙ is the mass flow rate (kg/s). - Computes the result instantly.
When Is It Used?
- In piping systems to monitor fluid transport.
- In engines & turbines for fuel efficiency calculations.
- In chemical processing to regulate material flow.
