Does mass flow rate change with pressure?

Mass flow rate is important precisely because of the ways it differs from volumetric flow: it is standardized, and will not fluctuate with changes to ambient temperature or pressure.

How does the back pressure in a convergent divergent nozzle influence the mass flow rate of the fluid?

Effect of back pressure on the flow through a converging and diverging nozzle: If P0 > Pb > Pc, the flow remains subsonic throughout the nozzle, and the mass flow is less than that for choked flow. The fluid velocity increases in the first section and reaches a maximum at the throat (but M <1).

Is back pressure Same as pressure drop?

So the two are different. Pressure drop is caused by agents inside whereas back pressure is controlled by you from outside.

Why does pressure drop in a nozzle?

The pressure drops in a convergent nozzle because of the Bernoulli Principle. A nozzle is a spout on the end of a hose or pipe used to control the movement of a fluid like water or air. The energy in this random motion is converted into faster forward motion, known as stream flow. This change makes the pressure drop.

Does flow rate decrease with pressure?

Will Increasing Pump Pressure Increase Flow? In general, when pump pressure increases, flow will decrease. More pressure changes the velocity of the fluid, but it also decreases the flow or output.

Does mass flow rate change?

Considering the mass flow rate equation, it appears that for a given area and a fixed density, we could increase the mass flow rate indefinitely by simply increasing the velocity. In real fluids, however, the density does not remain fixed as the velocity increases because of compressibility effects.

What is the effect of back pressure on flow through the nozzle?

When the nozzle isn’t choked, the flow through it is entirely subsonic and, if you lower the back pressure a little, the flow goes faster and the flow rate increases. As you lower the back pressure further the flow speed at the throat eventually reaches the speed of sound (Mach 1).
