Question

What is the volumetric flow rate if 100 kg of water is collected in 10 seconds? (Density of water = 1000 kg/m3)

(a) 0.1 m^3/s

(b) 0.2 m^3/s

(c) 0.01 m^3/s

(d) 0.02 m^3/s

The question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.

My question is from Flow Rate topic in division Moles, Density & Concentration of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (c) 0.01 m^3/s

To explain: volume of water collected = 100/1000 = 0.1 m^3, => volumetric flow rate = 0.1/10 = 0.01 m^3/s.
