rate of flow

Flow rate refers to the amount of a fluid (liquid or gas) that moves through a specific point in a system over a given period of time. It is usually measured in units like liters per second or gallons per minute. Think of it as how much water passes through a pipe or faucet every second. A higher flow rate means more fluid is moving through, while a lower rate indicates less. It’s a key factor in understanding how systems like plumbing, HVAC, or biological processes function efficiently and effectively.
