    The flow rate is 200 passengers per day and flow time is 5 days.

    Explanation:

    Average passengers that embark on daily cruise = 1000

    Number of days spent before they return to the ship terminal = 5 days

    Flow rate of passengers can be defined as the number of passengers that pass per unit time.

    Mass flow rate = flow unit / unit time

    Flow unit = 1000 passengers

    flow time = 5 days

    Mass flow rate = flow unit / flow time

    Mass flow rate = 1000/5

    Mass flow rate = 200 passengers per day

    The flow rate is 200 passengers per day and flow time is 5 days.

    Flow rate in passengers/day = 200 passengers/day

    In passengers/s = 0.0023 passengers/s

    Flow time in days = 5 days

    In seconds = 432000 s.

    Explanation:

    The flow unit is in passenger while the flow rate will be in passenger per unit time.

    Flow time is the time taken for the passenger to spend on their cruise before returning.

    Given:

    Number of passengers = 1000 passengers

    t = 5 days

    Converting 5 days to secs,

    5 * 24 hours * 3600 s

    = 432000 s.

    Flow rate = number of passengers/flow time

    = 1000/5

    = 200 passengers/day.

    OR

    = 1000/432000

    = 0.0023 passengers/s
