How to Evaluate Average Velocity of Fluid?

Average Velocity of Fluid evaluator uses Fluid Average Velocity = Volume Flow Rate/Pipe Cross Sectional Area to evaluate the Fluid Average Velocity, The Average Velocity of Fluid formula is defined as a measure of the mean speed at which fluid particles travel along a flow path. It is calculated by dividing the total volume flow rate of the fluid by the cross-sectional area through which the fluid is moving. Fluid Average Velocity is denoted by Vavg symbol.
