Mass rate ratio

Definition in words

The mass rate of component F divided by mass rate of component G in system 1

Note 1: Component F ≠ Component G (≠ = “not equal to”)

Note 2: Component F ∉ Component G (∉ = “is not an element of”)

Note 3: The quotient of mass rate of component F and mass rate of component G is denoted “mass rate ratio of component B”

Definition by equation
