In aircraft design, the cross-sectional area of exhaust gas is important for understanding the flow characteristics of exhaust gases exiting the aircraft’s engines. This area is typically measured in square meters (m²), which is the SI unit for area.
The formula to calculate the cross-sectional area (A) of exhaust gas can be defined as:
- A is the cross-sectional area of the exhaust gas in square meters (m²).
- 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).
- Velocity is the speed at which the exhaust gases exit the engine in meters per second (m/s).
