Hi.
I'm trying to find out the mass flow rate in a simple rectangular chimney with inlet on the bottom right and outlet at top. In trying to find the mass flow rate, do I have to use the net results or the values specified for inlet and outlet? The latter seems to be very large.

Hi,
You can see the mass flow rate through each boundary (inlet/outlet) via Reports / fluxes / mass flow rate. Just choose inlet OR outlet.
Regards,
