Key Terminology
-
Gigagram/second (Gg/s)
-
A unit measuring mass flow rate equal to one billion grams or one million kilograms passing per second, used for extremely large mass transfer rates.
-
Megagram/second (Mg/s)
-
An SI-derived mass flow rate unit equal to one megagram (1,000 kilograms) per second, often used for sizing and performance calculations in engineering.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a given point or area per unit time.
