The diameter of a “can-type” combustion chamber in aircraft design refers to the internal diameter of the combustion chamber, which is the distance across the chamber measured from one side to the opposite side, passing through its center. This parameter is essential for understanding the chamber’s size and geometry, which affects combustion efficiency and engine performance.The formula to calculate the diameter of the combustion chamber is straightforward:
- Diameter of Combustion Chamber is the internal diameter of the combustion chamber, typically measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
- Volume is the internal volume of the combustion chamber, typically measured in cubic meters (m³) or cubic feet (ft³).
- Length of Combustion Chamber is the axial length or height of the combustion chamber, typically measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).Ï€ (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
