The density (ρ) of wet compression in aircraft design is a measure of the mass per unit volume of the air-fuel mixture in the compression stage of an engine. It can be defined as the mass of the mixture divided by its volume. The SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). In wet compression, the density would depend on the specific conditions of the air-fuel mixture and the compression process within the engine.
- 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)
