The density of exhaust gases in aircraft design is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of the exhaust. It is a critical parameter for understanding engine performance and emissions. The formula to calculate the density of exhaust gases (ρ_exhaust) is as follows:
- ρ = Density of the fluid (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³)
- P = Pressure of the fluid (in pascals, Pa)
- R = Specific gas constant for the fluid (in J/(kg·K))
- T = Temperature of the fluid (in kelvin, K)
