Continuity Equation for Mass

 

Continuity Equation for Mass Formula

  • This formula states that the mass entering a system is equal to the mass leaves the system both at the same rate.

A1v1=A2v2     (Continuity Equation for Mass)

A1=A2v2v1

v1=A2v2A1

A2=A1v1v2

v2=A1v1A2

Symbol English Metric
A1 = Initial Area Cross-section in2 mm2
v1 = Initial Area Cross-section Velocity ft/sec m/s
A2 = Final Area cross-section in2 mm2
v2 = Final Area Cross-section Velocity ft/sec m/s

continuity equation mass 1This formula states that the mass entering a system is equal to the mass leaves the system both at the same rate.
