Hello!In Fluent, I do not know how to check the results of mass source that I input on the cell of the fluid domain. First, I input the constant value of the mass source by going to Set up=> Cell Zone Condition=> choose selected cell=> edit=>enable source terms=> click on source terms tap=>click edit on Mass source=> Number of mass source is 1=>type constant value: 0.001 [kg/m³s]=>Ok. Then go on doing something else=> Finally ran the calculation. But after calculation, where can I check the results of that mass source which I input on the selected cell? Thank you in advance for your help!

Via Results --> Reports -- Mass Flow Rate. Your Mass source should be the difference between the massflow of your in and outlets.

Thank @MKuhn, You mean the mass source which i input is the differences between mass flow rate(report->fluxes-> mass flow rate) of inlet and outlet?
So mass source=mass flow rate (outlet) - mass flow rate (inlet), is this what you meant? Sorry if there is anything wrong. I will always appreciate you reply and help! Thanks again!

For a steady state solution yes. For transient cases, probably not, depepends on your set up.
