The inner diameter in the context of an annular combustion chamber in aircraft design refers to the internal diameter of the chamber, which is the distance across the inner wall of the chamber, measured from one side to the opposite side, passing through its center. The inner diameter is a critical parameter that affects the combustion chamber’s size, geometry, and overall performance.
The formula for calculating the inner diameter of an annular combustion chamber is straightforward:
- Inner Diameter is the internal diameter of the annular combustion chamber, typically measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
- Outer Diameter is the external diameter of the annular combustion chamber, typically measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
- Wall Thickness is the thickness of the chamber’s walls, typically measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
