Calculation detail

Formula: ṁ = Q × ρ

Mass flow rate is calculated from volumetric flow rate and density.

FORMULA VERIFICATION

Units, scope and reference

Reference: Steady mass-flow identity ṁ = ρQ.

Internal unit basis: m³/h × kg/m³. Outputs: kg/h, kg/s.

Valid conditions: Positive volumetric flow and density at the same process condition.

Limitations: No compressibility, temperature property change or multiphase flow.
