The volume of an exhaust nozzle in an aircraft’s gas turbine engine is a crucial parameter for design and performance analysis. The formula for calculating the volume of an exhaust nozzle depends on its shape, which can vary.
Here are formulas for common nozzle shapes:For a Cylindrical Nozzle:
- V is the volume, measured in cubic meters (m³).
- π (pi) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
- r is the radius of the nozzle, measured in meters (m).
- L is the length of the cylindrical portion of the nozzle, measured in meters (m).
