The fuel flow rate in a combustion chamber represents the rate at which fuel is consumed or injected into the combustion process. It’s a critical parameter in aircraft design and engine analysis.
The formula to calculate the fuel flow rate can be defined as follows:
- Fuel Flow Rate is the rate at which fuel is being consumed or injected into the combustion chamber, typically measured in kilograms per second (kg/s) or pounds per hour (lb/hr).
- Mass of Fuel Burned is the total mass of fuel that has undergone combustion during the specified time interval, typically measured in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb).
- Time is the duration over which the combustion process occurs, typically measured in seconds (s) or hours (hr).
