The mass flow rate (ṁ) of a dry compressor in aircraft design is typically calculated using the following formula:
– ṁ is the mass flow rate (in kilograms per second, kg/s).
– ρ is the density of the air (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
– A is the cross-sectional area of the airflow (in square meters, m²).
– V is the velocity of the air (in meters per second, m/s).
