Definition
rate process profile at which material is transported across a specified surface or boundary
Examples
- mass flow rate of air supplied to a bioreactor sparger; mass flow rate of carbon dioxide in an exhaust gas stream; volumetric flow rate of buffer through a chromatography column; volumetric flow rate of permeate through an ultrafiltration membrane

Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs to create necessary and sufficient conditions.
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
FlowRate(x) → RateProcessProfile(x) ∧ ∃m(MaterialEntity(m) ∧ hasParticipantAtSomeTime(x,m))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘flow rate’ then x is a ‘rate process profile’ that ‘has participant at some time’ some ‘material entity’
