  2. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    Volumetric flow rate is defined by the limit [3] = ˙ = =, that is, the flow of volume of fluid V through a surface per unit time t.. Since this is only the time derivative of volume, a scalar quantity, the volumetric flow rate is also a scalar quantity.

    GPD [citation needed] ≡ 1 gal/d ... GPM [citation needed] ... ≡ change in the thermodynamic temperature T that results in a change of thermal energy kT by 1.380 ...

  4. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    This depth is converted to a flow rate according to a theoretical formula of the form = where is the flow rate, is a constant, is the water level, and is an exponent which varies with the device used; or it is converted according to empirically derived level/flow data points (a "flow curve"). The flow rate can then be integrated over time into ...

  5. Gallon per watt-hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon_per_watt-hour

    G/Wh makes it easy for homeowners and plumbing professionals to quickly determine the energy efficiency of a pump. Simply stated G/Wh links efficiency and performance by illustrating how many gallons of water are pumped using one watt hour of electricity.
