In the context of aircraft design, the mass flow rate (ṁ) of a convergence duct is a measure of the mass of air or fluid passing through the duct per unit of time. The mass flow rate formula can be defined as:
– Mass Flow Rate (ṁ) is typically measured in kilograms per second (kg/s).
– Density (ρ) is the density of the fluid or air flowing through the convergence duct, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
– Cross-Sectional Area (A) is the area of the duct through which the flow occurs, typically measured in square meters (m²).
– Velocity (V) is the velocity of the fluid or air within the duct, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).
