In aircraft design, the mass flow rate of a float-type carburetor is a crucial parameter that describes the rate at which air-fuel mixture flows through the carburetor into the engine. It is typically calculated using the following formula:
- ṁ = Mass Flow Rate (in kilograms per second, kg/s)
- ρ = Air Density (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³)
- A = Carburetor Cross-Sectional Area (in square meters, m²)
- V = Air Velocity (in meters per second, m/s)
