Volumetric Flow Rate

Volumetric flow rate, abbreviated as Q, also called flow rate, is the amount of fluid that flows in a given time past a specific point or you could say the actual volume flow.

 

Volumetric flow rate formulas

\(\large{ Q = A_c \; v }\)

\(\large{ Q = A_c \; v \; cos \; \theta }\)

\(\large{ Q = \frac {V} {t} }\)

\(\large{ Q = k \; i \; A_c }\)

Where:
