How to calculate mass flow rate?
(OP)
Hello guys!
Air (compressible fluid) and water (Incompressible fluid) is allowed to flow through a tube without mixing with each other. I need to find the flow rate at the outlet (both air and water flow rate). How this can be done? By what device we can find? Any idea?
thanks & regards,
Davy

Either run it into a separator / knock out drum and then maintain the water level and measure gas flow and water flow separately or use a multiphase meter.
Also if you measure what goes in then what comes out will be the same....
This is very vague and hence I'm afraid gets you a vague answer. Depending on the different quantities, velocity of each fluid and orientation of the pipe, your air and water may mix, become a mist, annular flow (really odd), slug flow, wavy flow...
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
