The velocity of core air in an aircraft engine, denoted as “V_core,” is the speed at which air moves through the engine’s core components. It is a crucial parameter for understanding engine performance and efficiency.
The formula for calculating the velocity of core air is:
– V is the velocity of core air (in meters per second, m/s).
– ṁ is the mass flow rate of core air (in kilograms per second, kg/s).
– A is the cross-sectional area of the core air passage (in square meters, m²).
– ρ is the density of core air (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³)
