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)
\[
w=\frac{\rho * g * \delta^{3} * W}{3 * v}
\]
