Airflow vs Flowrate: Are They Synonymous?

[CadisEtramaDiRaizel]

Are these two terms synonymous? or not

Probably, but it might depend on the context.

It really depends on the context, but regardless of the context, they are both ambiguous. It is best to specify volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, or velocity rather than leaving the reader to infer.
