Question

How do I compute mass flow rate for a compressible fluid?

Answer 1

A units check gives area x length/time x time = area x length = volume. The mass m contained in this volume is simply density r times the volume. To determine themass flow rate mdot, we divide the mass by the time

Answer 2

Can the Pipe Flow Expert Software handle compressible fluids? ... Although the volume of gas and velocity in the pipe changes, the mass flow (weight of flow) in the pipe will remain ...
