Mass flow rate

The mass flow of a medium is the mass that moves within a period of time by a cross-section, relative to the amount of time.

The mass flow is sometimes referred to as throughput and specify in kilograms per second, even per minute or hour at a slow flow.

The mass flow is calculated in the fluid mechanics by

When the density is to be noted that the bill needs to be extended by the possible volume changes in gases (ie compressible media ). The average flow velocity is determined by integration, see Flow. For measuring the flow rate, there are various methods of measurement.

Examples: wind, exhaust gas mass flow, river, ocean current, landslide, landslide, grain flow, slurry flow, sediment flow, debris flow
