Substance rate ratio (subst.rate ratio)

Abbreviation

 subst.rate ratio

Definition in words

Substance rate of component F divided by substance 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 substance rate of component F and substance rate of component G is denoted “substance rate ratio of component B”

Definition by equation

Systematic terms
