Definition

flow rate whose magnitude is determined by the volume of material transported across the specified surface or boundary per unit of elapsed time

Examples

• volumetric flow rate of buffer through a chromatography column; volumetric flow rate of permeate through an ultrafiltration membrane; volumetric flow rate of liquid feed through a process line;

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
