Formula 5.13

Calculation of mass flow rate

Input(s)

$\rho$: Density $\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)$

g: Gravitational Acceleration $\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$

$\boldsymbol{\delta}$: Film Thickness (m)

W: Width (m)

v: Kinematic Viscosity $\left(\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)$

Output(s)

w: Mass Flow Rate $(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s})$

Formula(s)

$$ w=\frac{\rho * g * \delta^{3} * W}{3 * v} $$
