In aircraft design, the Mass Flow Rate (ṁ) of Wet Compression refers to the rate at which air or gas enters the engine, accounting for the moisture content in the incoming air. This parameter is essential for understanding and analyzing the performance of the engine. The formula to calculate Mass Flow Rate of Wet Compression depends on various factors, including the engine’s specific design and the moisture content.
- ṁ is the mass flow rate of air (in kilograms per second, kg/s).
- ρ is the air density (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
- V is the velocity of the air through the wet Combustion (in meters per second, m/s).
- A is the cross-sectional area of the Wet Combustion (in square meters, m²).
