Jinsi ya kukokotoa Flow Rate

Flow Rate ni nini?

Flow rate (Q) is the volume of fluid passing a cross-section per unit time. The continuity equation Q = A × v is fundamental to plumbing, HVAC, hydraulics, and engineering.

Fomula

Q = A × v | Q = V/t | where Q = volumetric flow rate, A = cross-section area, v = velocity, V = volume, t = time
Q
Volumetric flow rate (m³/s or L/min)
A
Cross-sectional area (m²)
v
Fluid velocity (m/s)
V
Total volume (m³)
t
Time elapsed (s)

Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua

  1. 1Q = A × v (m³/s; A in m², v in m/s)
  2. 2Continuity: A₁v₁ = A₂v₂ (fluid speeds up in narrower sections)
  3. 31 m³/s = 1,000 L/s = 60,000 L/min
  4. 4Use consistent units throughout

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Ingizo
Pipe area 0.03m², velocity 2m/s
Matokeo
Q = 0.03 × 2 = 0.06 m³/s = 60 L/s = 3,600 L/min
