What is mass flow in biology?

For use in cell biology (i.e. protein transport within a cell) see Bulk flow. Mass flow, also known as “mass transfer” and “bulk flow”, is the movement of fluids down a pressure or temperature gradient, particularly in the life sciences. As such, mass flow is a subject of study in both fluid dynamics and biology. read more

In biology, mass flow is the movement of a fluid in one direction, usually through a system of tube-like vessels. A mass transport system is a transport system (i.e. a means by which materials are moved from exchange surface/s that form part of an organism to all other locations within the organism where the materials from the exchange sufrace/s are required by cells) that involves mass flow. read more

Mass flow Mass flow, also known as mass transfer and bulk flow, is the movement of material matter. In physics, mass flow occurs in open systems and is often measured as occurring when moving across a certain boundary characterized by its cross-sectional area and a flow rate. read more
