Hi everybody,
I am looking for assistance to compute the mass flow rate over a surface (inlet and outlet). That's would be great if you have some ideas to share. Thank you. T |

Dear vut
Use integral variables under Filters > Data Analysis. I attached an example. In this image, I selected the curved surface and calculated the total T on the surface by integral variables function. T = 117.779 is the total amount of variable T, which I thought temperature in this tutorial. It you want mass flow rate passing through the surface. Multiply the sum of U (velocity magnitude or components) and rho (density) on the surface of interest gives the mass flow rate. y |
