Yes, but I think some scientists would have a tendency "merging it" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

Do we use space between a number and a unit? For example, This ruler is 30 cm long. / This ruler is 30cm long. |
The first, if you are going to write anything formal. The second it's just net slang or used for other practical reasons. |

And I also have another question about the space.
Do we use space between a number and a unit? For example, This ruler is 30 cm long. / This ruler is 30cm long. |
1. The expression could be 'flowrate'.
2. 30 cm is better than 30cm in technical wrting as has been already pointed out. Just two exceptions: % and °F/C: 95%; 32°F. |
