The cross-sectional area (A) of the throat of a pulsejet engine can be calculated using the following formula:
- A is the cross-sectional area in square meters (m²).
- ṁ is the mass flow rate of gases in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- V is the velocity of the gases at the throat in meters per second (m/s).
- ρ is the density of the gases at the throat in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
