Rate of flow in Fluid Mechanics Formulas

Rate of flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc. And is denoted by Q. Rate of flow is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Rate of flow is always negative.

FAQ

What is the Rate of flow?

Rate of flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc. Rate of flow is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Rate of flow is always negative.

Can the Rate of flow be negative?

Yes, the Rate of flow, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate can be negative.

What unit is used to measure Rate of flow?

Rate of flow is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second[m³/s] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Day[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Hour[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Minute[m³/s] are the few other units in which Rate of flow can be measured.
