State whether the following is true or false.
A mass flow rate is independent of temperature and pressure while a volumetric flow rate is not.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Mass is conserved and unaffected by conditions, whereas volume responds to both through the density. This is why material balances are written on a mass or mole basis rather than a volumetric one. A volumetric flow must always carry its conditions with it.
