Define volume flow rate of air flowing in a duct of area A with average velocity V.

Step1

Volume flow rate is the rate of change of volume of fluid that is flowing in the duct of pipe per unit time. It is measure in m³/s or l/s. Volume flow rate is very important parameter in fluid analysis.

Step2

For the given duct, the volume flow rate is the product of average velocity to the cross section area of duct.

Expression for volume flow rate is given as follows:

Q=AV

Here, Q is the flow rate, A is area of the duct and V is the average velocity of flowing fluid.
