the amount of mass passed through the area during the time
Amount of fluid mass passing through a unit area per unit time:
j_m = \frac{\delta m}{ \delta A \, \delta t} |
where
the amount of mass passed through the area |
| SI unit | Metric unit | Oilfield units |
|---|---|---|
| kg/ ( s · m2) | kg/ ( s · m2) |
Mass Flux vector is proportional to fluid density and fluid velocity
:
{\bf j}_m = \rho \, {\bf u} |
