Does Pressure multiplied by volume multiplied by volumetric flow rate equal Force?

N/m2 x m3 x m3/s so Nm4/sberkeman said:Welcome to the PF.
What do the units work out as?
Can you describe each term? It looks like you have an extra m^3 in there...?FADFAD1 said:x m3
The equation has pressure p.FADFAD1 said:the equation is pAdeltaL * dv/dt
so pressure times volume times change in length time volumetric flow rate
Volumetric flow rate is the measure of the volume of fluid that flows through a specific area in a given amount of time. It is typically measured in units of cubic meters per second (m3/s) in the SI system.
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid, while mass flow rate measures the mass of fluid passing through a specific area in a given amount of time. The relationship between the two is dependent on the density of the fluid.
Volumetric flow rate is calculated by dividing the volume of fluid passing through a specific area by the time it takes for the fluid to pass through that area. The formula for volumetric flow rate is Q = V/t, where Q is the flow rate, V is the volume, and t is the time.
Volumetric flow rate is directly proportional to the velocity of the fluid. This means that as the velocity of the fluid increases, the volumetric flow rate also increases. The formula for this relationship is Q = Av, where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area of the flow, and v is the velocity of the fluid.
Force is an important factor in fluid flow as it is responsible for causing the movement of the fluid. The force applied to a fluid can be in the form of pressure, gravity, or external forces such as pumps or fans. Without force, there would be no flow of fluid.
