The density (ρ) of the air entering a Leap L1 engine in aircraft design can be calculated using the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law relates the density, pressure (P), and temperature (T) of a gas:
– ρ (rho) is the air density (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
– P is the pressure of the air (in pascals, Pa).
– R is the specific gas constant for dry air (approximately 287 J/(kg·K)).
– T is the absolute temperature of the air (in kelvin, K).
