    Space velocity (chemistry)
    In chemical reactor design, space velocity represents the relation between volumetric flow and reactor volume . It is often denoted by SV and is related to the residence time in a chemical reactor, τ, by the relationship,where the space velocity and the residence time are calculated at the same...
