filtrationsrate
Filtrationsrate is the rate at which a filtrate is produced through a filter or membrane. It denotes the amount of fluid that passes through per unit time and is typically expressed in volume per time, such as liters per minute (L/min) or cubic meters per second (m3/s). The filtrationsrate depends on the driving force across the filter, the properties of the membrane or filter medium, and the characteristics of the fluid.
In physiology, the concept is closely associated with the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the kidney’s rate
In engineering and environmental applications, the filtrationsrate describes how fast a liquid or gas passes through
