Mass and Volumetric Flow Rates in Process Engineering

The rate at which a material is transported through a process line is typically expressed in terms of energy flow rate.

Density is used to convert mass flow rate to volume flow rate.

Process calculations require knowledge of the mass flow rates of process streams.

The specific volume of a substance is directly proportional to its density.

The density of pure solids and liquids changes significantly with pressure.

Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the specific volume of a substance to the density of a reference substance.

The most commonly used reference substance for calculating specific gravity is air at 25°C.

A rotameter is a device used to measure the density of a fluid in a process line.

Orifice meter is a device that measures the volumetric flow rate in a process line.
