In aircraft design and engineering, the “total pressure ratio” (P_total, compressor) represents the ratio of the total pressure at the outlet of the compressor to the total pressure at the inlet of the compressor. It is a crucial parameter in assessing the performance and efficiency of a compressor within an aircraft engine.
The formula for calculating the total pressure ratio (P_total, compressor) can be defined as:
- Total Pressure Ratio (P_total, compressor) is the total pressure ratio.
- P_outlet_total is the total pressure at the compressor outlet.
- P_inlet_total is the total pressure at the compressor inlet.
