Flow Rate for Rectangular Pipes

The volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid that passes per unit time.

The flow rate for a rectangular pipe is the product of the height, width and the flow velocity of fluid.

Formula

QuantityVariable["Q", "VolumeFlow"] == QuantityVariable["H", "Height"]*QuantityVariable["v", "Speed"]*QuantityVariable["W", "Width"]
