Note:

This tool calculates the Mass Flow Rate of a fluid based on its Volumetric Flow Rate and Specific Volume. It helps in determining the mass of fluid moving through a system per second, which is crucial for engineering and industrial applications.

Understanding Parameters:

• Mass Flow Rate (kg/s): Represents the total mass of the fluid passing through a section per second.
• Volumetric Flow Rate (m³/s): The volume of fluid flowing per unit time.
• Specific Volume (m³/kg): The volume occupied by a unit mass of the fluid.

Key Applications:

• Thermal Power Plants: Used in steam flow calculations for boilers and turbines.
• HVAC & Refrigeration: Essential in air handling and refrigeration systems.
• Chemical & Process Industries: Helps monitor mass flow of liquids and gases in industrial processes.
• Fluid Transportation: Determines the mass of fluid moving through pipelines in industries like oil and gas.

Validations & Input Constraints:

• Volumetric Flow Rate (qₜ) must be a valid number: - Can be positive or negative, depending on the flow direction. - If an invalid input is entered, an error message will be displayed.
• Specific Volume (v₉) must be positive: - Since specific volume represents the space occupied by a unit mass, it must always be greater than zero. - If v₉ ≤ 0, an error message will be displayed to prevent division by zero.
• Mass Flow Rate (qₘ) can be positive or negative: - Negative values indicate reverse flow in the system.

Conclusion:

This tool ensures accurate mass flow rate calculations, helping engineers and industry professionals make informed decisions about fluid movement and control in various applications.
