Térfogatáramlást

Térfogatáramlást is a Hungarian term that translates to volumetric flow rate in English. It represents the volume of a fluid that passes through a given surface per unit of time. This is a fundamental concept in fluid mechanics and engineering, used to quantify the movement of liquids and gases.

The standard international unit for volumetric flow rate is cubic meters per second (m³/s). However, other units are also commonly used depending on the application and industry, such as liters per minute (L/min), gallons per minute (GPM), or cubic feet per hour (CFH). The choice of unit often depends on the scale of the flow being measured.

Volumetric flow rate is typically calculated by multiplying the cross-sectional area of the flow path by the average velocity of the fluid. Mathematically, it can be expressed as Q = A * v, where Q is the volumetric flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area, and v is the average fluid velocity. Understanding and accurately measuring térfogatáramlást is crucial for various applications, including process control, water management, pipe design, and the operation of pumps and turbines. It helps engineers ensure that systems are functioning efficiently and safely.
