How to calculate average mass flow rate at the outlet?

      I am running a transient simulation for my project. As i need to analyze the flow rate both at inlet and outlet to observe the achievement of steady stare? The mass flow rate at the inlet is constant and is not fluctuating but on the other hand the mass flow rate at the outlet is fluctuating. Therefore, i need to calculate average mass flow rate at the outlet for the said purpose.

      Can someone please guide me how can I calculate or analyze the average mass floe rate at the outlet?

      Your kind favor in this regard will be highly appreciated.


      Thank you

      From Results tab -> Reports -> Surface Integrals
      under "Report Type" choose volume flow rate and from "surfaces" list choose the outlet surface that you want to calculate the flow rate at.

      good luck

      Thank you for your response. But i want average flow rate. The way you suggested will give the flow rate at every no of time step but i am looking the way to analyze the average flow rate. Can you please help me to do so ?
