Mass Velocity Formula Elements

Variables
Mass Velocity
Mass Velocity is defined as the weight flow rate of a fluid divided by the cross-sectional area of the enclosing chamber or conduit.

How to Evaluate Mass Velocity?

Mass Velocity evaluator uses Mass Velocity = Mass Flow Rate/Cross Sectional Area to evaluate the Mass Velocity, The Mass Velocity formula is defined as the ratio of Mass flow rate to the cross sectional area. Consider the flow in a tube. A boundary layer develops at the entrance, Eventually the boundary layer fills the entire tube, and the flow is said to be fully developed. If the flow is laminar, a parabolic velocity profile is experienced. When the flow is turbulent, a somewhat blunter profile is observed. In a tube, the Reynolds number is again used as a criterion for laminar and turbulent flow. Mass Velocity is denoted by G symbol.
