The Mass Flow Rate of Core Air in aircraft design refers to the rate at which air passes through the engine core of a turbofan engine and undergoes the combustion process.
It is typically calculated using the following formula:
- The Total Mass Flow Rate is the overall rate at which air enters the engine, typically measured in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- The Mass Flow Rate of Bypass Air is the rate at which air bypasses the engine core and flows around the outside of the engine, also measured in kilograms per second (kg/s).
