Hi guys, Small and stupid question The mass flow rate selection in the boundary template. For a impeller with three blades I know the total mass flow rate at outlet (i.e. 9 kg/s) for entire cylindrical tube containing three blades impeller

However, In turbo mode only one blade is displayed! So what to use for Mass flow rate per component - 3 kg/s (because one blade component is 1/3 of entire body)? or do i use mass flow rate per component - 9 kg/s (because the component shown is in reality the entire 3 blade assembly)

Thanks in advance!

If you enter the total mass flow rate, Pre will calculate the per-component flow rate and enter it appropriately. If you choose the per-component option, put the per-component value. You can always check the mass flow rate on the actual b.c. after.

thanks CycLone! How to check all the values in POST such as mass flow rate, pressure, etc? thanks again

You can use the function calculator or evaluate an expression, such as "massFlow()@outlet".

When you go through turbo-pre, you can check the applied mass flow rate in the boundary condition review pane. You can also drop into General Mode at the end and review your boundary conditions there.

Running through some of the basic CFX tutorials will help you understand.
