In aircraft design, the density of a fluid passing through a divergence nozzle is a critical parameter that represents how tightly the fluid molecules are packed within a given volume. The density can be calculated using the ideal gas law, which relates pressure, density, and temperature. The formula to calculate density is:
- ρ = Density of the fluid (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³)
- P = Pressure of the fluid (in pascals, Pa)
- R = Specific gas constant for the fluid (in J/(kg·K))
- T = Temperature of the fluid (in kelvin, K)
