Formula 5.101

Mass rate of flow

Input(s)

g: Acceleration due to Gravity $\left(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$

$\rho$: Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

$\delta$: Film Thickness $(\mathrm{cm})$

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

W: Width $(\mathrm{cm})$

Output(s)

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

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{w}=\frac{\rho * \mathrm{~g} *\left(\delta^{3}\right) * \mathrm{~W}}{3 * \mathrm{v}} $$
