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:
Units | English | Metric |
\(\large{ Q }\) = volumetric flow rate | \(\large{\frac{ft^3}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m^3}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ A_c }\) = area cross-section | \(\large{ft^2}\) | \(\large{m^2}\) |
\(\large{ k }\) = hydraulic conductivity | \(\large{\frac{ft}{day}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{day}}\) |
\(\large{ i }\) = hydraulic gradient | \(\large{dimensionless}\) | |
\(\large{ t }\) = time | \(\large{sec}\) | \(\large{s}\) |
\(\large{ v }\) = velocity | \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ V }\) = volume | \(\large{in^3}\) | \(\large{mm^3}\) |
