In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate (also known as volume flow rate, or volume velocity) is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the … See more

Volumetric flow rate can also be defined by
$${\displaystyle Q=\mathbf {v} \cdot \mathbf {A} ,}$$

In internal combustion engines, the time area integral is considered over the range of valve opening. The time lift integral is given by See more

Volumetric flow rate is defined by the limit
$${\displaystyle Q={\dot {V}}=\lim \limits _{\Delta t\to 0}{\frac {\Delta V}{\Delta t}}={\frac {\mathrm {d} V}{\mathrm {d} t}},}$$ See more

When the mass flow rate is known, and the density can be assumed constant, this is an easy way to get $${\displaystyle Q}$$:
$${\displaystyle Q={\frac {\dot {m}}{\rho }},}$$
