The cross-sectional area of bypass air in aircraft design represents the area through which the bypass air flows within the engine. It is an essential parameter in engine design and analysis. The formula for calculating the cross-sectional area of bypass air is:
- A is the cross-sectional area of bypass air (in square meters, m²).
- m is the mass flow rate of bypass air (in kilograms per second, kg/s).
- Rho is the density of bypass air (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
- V is the velocity of bypass air (in meters per second, m/s).
