Volumetric flow rate

Volumetric flow rate is like how much liquid can run out of a faucet in a minute. Just like how you can count the number of drops of water that come out of the faucet, volumetric flow rate counts how much liquid (usually water) flows out of a pipe or a channel over time. This number can help engineers figure out how fast water is moving through a pipe, and if it's moving fast enough to get to its destination on time. Imagine a big straw that you can drink soda or juice from. The volumetric flow rate would be how much volume of soda or juice is flowing through that straw every second.
