Basic Concepts and Definitions
¤ Total flow rate
– If flux is constant: flux x area
– If flux is varying with area:
¤ Average flow rate:
¤ Total volume property or rate
– If property or rate is uniform or constant:
– If property or rate is varying with volume:

Basic Concepts and Definitions
¤ Ex. A fluid is flowing in the z-direction between twoparallel plates of length L and width W, separated by a
distance 2B. The steady-state velocity profile given as
– Calculate the average velocity.
– Express the velocity profile in terms of the average velocity

Basic Concepts and Definitions
¤ Ex. A fluid is flowing in the z-direction between twoparallel plates of length L and width W, separated by a
distance 2B.
– Show that if the coordinate system was chosen as shown
below, the velocity profile will be
–Show that the average velocity and volumetric flow rate arethe same in both coordinate systems.
