tömegáramfelhasználás

Tömegáramfelhasználás, a Hungarian term, translates to "mass flow consumption" or "mass flow usage" in English. It refers to the rate at which a substance, typically a fluid or gas, is consumed or used by a process or system, measured by its mass per unit of time. This is distinct from volumetric flow rate, which measures volume per unit of time, as mass flow rate accounts for changes in density due to temperature and pressure variations.

Understanding tömegáramfelhasználás is crucial in many industrial and scientific applications. For instance, in combustion engines, it represents how much fuel mass is burned per second. In chemical reactors, it indicates the mass of reactants being converted into products over time. Similarly, in pneumatic or hydraulic systems, it quantifies the mass of fluid being delivered or used to perform work.

The measurement of tömegáramfelhasználás is often achieved using specialized flow meters such as Coriolis mass flow meters, thermal mass flow meters, or by inferring it from volumetric flow measurements combined with density data. Accurate monitoring of mass flow consumption is vital for process control, efficiency optimization, safety, and economic calculations within various industries. For example, precise control of fuel mass flow in a power plant directly impacts its energy output and emissions.
