What is Rate of Flow?

In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol Q. The SI unit is cubic metres per second. Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per minute. In hydrometry, it is known as discharge.
