The Dynamic Pressure at the Compressor Inlet in aircraft design refers to the pressure caused by the motion of the incoming air before it enters the compressor section of a gas turbine engine. It is a crucial parameter for understanding the kinetic energy of the airflow.
The formula for calculating Dynamic Pressure (q) at the Compressor Inlet is as follows:
- ρ (rho) represents the air density at the compressor inlet and is typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- V represents the velocity of the incoming air at the compressor inlet, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).
