In aircraft design, the cross-sectional area (A) of a convergence duct is a critical parameter that describes the size of the duct’s opening through which air flows. The formula for the cross-sectional area of a convergence duct can be defined as:
– Cross-Sectional Area (A) is the area of the duct opening through which the airflow occurs, typically measured in square meters (m²).
– Mass Flow Rate (ṁ) is the amount of mass flow passing through the duct per unit of time, typically measured in kilograms per second (kg/s).
– Density (ρ) is the mass per unit volume of the fluid or air, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
– Velocity (V) is the speed of the fluid or air within the convergence duct, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).
