Mass Flow Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mass Flow Rate = Material Density*Volume Flow Rate
Q = ρ_m*F_v
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass Flow Rate is the amount of mass passing through a given cross-sectional area per unit time, representing the quantity of material moving within a fluid system.
Material Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Material Density is the mass per unit volume of a fluid, influencing buoyancy, pressure, and flow behavior, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Material Density: 0.16 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 0.16 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Volume Flow Rate: 1.2 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.2 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

Drag Coefficient of Pipe

Go Drag Coefficient = (Force Flow*2*[g])/(Specific Weight Fluid Flow*Pipe Cross Sectional Area*Fluid Velocity)

Length of Pipe

Go Pipe Length = (2*Pipe Diameter*Head Loss due to Friction*[g])/(Friction Factor*Fluid Average Velocity^2)

Pipe Diameter

Go Pipe Diameter = (Friction Factor*Pipe Length*Fluid Average Velocity^2)/(2*Head Loss due to Friction*[g])

Head Loss

Go Head Loss due to Friction = (Friction Factor*Pipe Length*Fluid Average Velocity^2)/(2*Pipe Diameter*[g])

Density of Liquid

Go Fluid Density = (Reynolds Number*Absolute Fluid Viscosity)/(Fluid Velocity*Pipe Diameter)

Reynolds number of fluid flowing in Pipe

Go Reynolds Number = (Fluid Velocity*Pipe Diameter*Fluid Density)/Absolute Fluid Viscosity

Absolute Viscosity

Go Absolute Fluid Viscosity = (Fluid Velocity*Pipe Diameter*Fluid Density)/Reynolds Number

Loss Coefficient for Various Fitting

Go Head Loss Coefficient = (Head Loss due to Friction*2*[g])/(Fluid Average Velocity^2)

Head Loss Due to Fitting

Go Head Loss due to Friction = (Head Loss Coefficient*Fluid Average Velocity^2)/(2*[g])
