Unreferenced date December 2009 Working mass is a mass against which a system operates in order to produce acceleration . In the case of a rocket, for example, the reaction mass is the fuel shot backwards to provide propulsion. All acceleration requires an exchange of momentum , which can be thought of as the unit of movement . Momentum is related to mass and velocity, as given by the formula P mv, where P is the momentum, m the mass, and v the velocity. The velocity of a body is easily changeable, but in most cases the mass is not, which makes it important. Rockets and rocket like reaction engines In rockets, the total velocity change can be calculated using the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation as follows math Delta ,v u , ln left frac m M M right math Where v ship velocity. u exhaust velocity. M ship mass, not including the fuel. m total mass ejected from the ship working mass . The term working mass is used primarily in the aerospace field. In more down to earth examples the working mass is typically provided by the Earth, which contains so much momentum in comparison to most vehicles that the amount it gains or loses can be ignored. However in the case of an aircraft the working mass is the air, and in the case of a rocket , it is the rocket fuel itself. Most rocket engines use light weight fuels liquid hydrogen , oxygen , or kerosene accelerated to super sonic speeds. However, ion engine s often use heavier elements like Xenon as the reaction mass, accelerated to much higher speeds using electric fields. In many cases the working mass is separate from the energy used to accelerate it.

Refimprove date December 2009 Mass flow , also known as mass transfer and bulk flow, is the movement of material matter. In physics, mass flow occurs in thermodynamical system Open system open system s and is often measured as occurring when moving across a certain boundary characterized by its cross sectional area and a mass flow rate flow rate . In engineering and biology it may also be a flow of fluids in a tube or vessel of a certain diameter. A bulk transfer of particles of matter in a characterised type of flow is also known as bulk flow Examples include, blood circulation , transport of water in xylem vessels and phloem tubes of plants. This relies upon the cohesion of water molecules to each other and adhesion to the vessel s wall via hydrogen bonding . If an air bubble forms the flow will be stopped as the column is broken and the pressure difference in the vessel cannot be transmitted this is called an embolism. Once these embolisms are nucleated, the remaining water in the capillaries begins to turn to water vapor. Plants have physiological mechanisms to reestablish the capillary action within their cells. The snapping can be heard, and this sound can be used to measure the rate of cavitation within a plant. ref Pockman, W.T., Sperry, J.S., & O Leary, J.W. 1995.
