The formula for engine cooling airflow can vary depending on factors such as the engine size, design, and cooling system configuration. However, a simplified formula commonly used to estimate airflow for engine cooling is:
Where:
- Heat Dissipation Rate is the amount of heat generated by the engine (in watts or BTU/hr).
- Air Specific Heat is the specific heat capacity of air (typically around 1.005 kJ/kg°C or 0.24 BTU/lb°F).
- Temperature Difference is the temperature difference between the engine and the surrounding air (in °C or °F).
