The mass of fuel burned in a combustion chamber represents the total amount of fuel consumed or combusted during a specific operation. It is a crucial parameter in aircraft design and engine analysis.
The formula to calculate the mass of fuel burned can be defined as follows:
- Mass of Fuel Burned is the total mass of fuel that has undergone combustion during the specified operation, typically measured in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb).
- Fuel Flow Rate is the rate at which fuel is being consumed or injected into the combustion chamber, typically measured in kilograms per second (kg/s) or pounds per hour (lb/hr).
- Time is the duration over which the combustion process or operation occurs, typically measured in seconds (s) or hours (hr).
