In aircraft design, the velocity of exhaust gases is crucial for understanding engine performance and propulsion. The velocity of exhaust gases is typically measured in meters per second (m/s), which is the SI unit for velocity.
The formula to calculate the velocity (V) of exhaust gas can be defined as:
- V is the velocity of the exhaust gas in meters per second (m/s).
- Mass Flow Rate is the rate at which exhaust gases are expelled from the engine in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- Density is the density of the exhaust gas in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- Cross-Sectional Area is the area through which the exhaust gases exit in square meters (m²).
