CHEE 3525 Lecture Notes - Lecture 35: Volumetric Flow Rate, Mass Flow Rate, Perfect Fluid
Document Summary
Section 5 the flow of fluids (mott chapter 6) flow rate. Quantity of fluid flowing per unit time across any section volume flow rate: constant-density mass flow rate: constant-density weight flow rate: ideal fluid ( inviscid ) No viscosity no friction no shear stress. The fluid can slide over itself or a solid body without any frictional resistance incompressible. Most liquids are assumed to be incompressible. All properties of the flow at every point in space remain important for sound and shock waves, water hammer in pipes constant with respect to time. This can be expressed as v / t = 0, in which space is held constant. likewise, in steady flow, there is no change in density, pressure, temperature, or concentration with time at any point. Mean flow properties at a point change with time.
