Flow Equations Flashcards
1
Q
Refers to the velocity of the liquid being measured. Measured in feet or meter per second
A
Flow rate
2
Q
The volume is transported over some period of time such as gallons per minute, etc
A
Volumetric flow rate
3
Q
Velocity is measured and translated into flow rate based on the cross sectional area of the pipeline
A
Inferred measurement
4
Q
For example, volumetric flow measurement devices usually do not account for changes in fluid density
A
Limitations of Volumetric Measurement
5
Q
Give the actual weight of the fluid that is being transported per unit time
A
Mass Flow rate
