Flow Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume Flow Rate = Pipe Cross Sectional Area*Fluid Average Velocity
F_v = A*V_avg
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Volume Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume flow rate is the quantity of fluid that passes through a given point or area in a system over a specific period of time.
Pipe Cross Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Pipe Cross Sectional Area is the internal surface area through which a fluid flows, perpendicular to the direction of flow.
Fluid Average Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Fluid Average Velocity is the mean speed at which fluid particles travel through a cross-section of a conduit, influencing flow rate and dynamics, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pipe Cross Sectional Area: 0.36 Square Meter --> 0.36 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Fluid Average Velocity: 3.31 Meter per Second --> 3.31 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_v = A*V_avg --> 0.36*3.31

Evaluating ... ...

F_v = 1.1916

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.1916 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.1916 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Volume Flow Rate
