How do you find the average mass flow rate?

To find the average mass flow rate, you can use the formula:

[ \text{Average Mass Flow Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Mass}}{\text{Total Time}} ]

First, measure the total mass of the fluid that has passed through a cross-section over a specific time period. Then, divide that mass by the duration of time to obtain the average mass flow rate, typically expressed in units like kilograms per second (kg/s).
