The mass flow rate (ṁ) of air entering a Leap L1 engine in aircraft design can be calculated using the formula:
– ṁ (pronounced “m-dot”) is the mass flow rate of air entering the engine (in kilograms per second, kg/s).
– ρ (rho) is the air density (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
– A is the cross-sectional area of the engine inlet (in square meters, m²).
– V is the velocity of air entering the engine (in meters per second, m/s).
