The Mass Flow Rate of a Fuel Injector in aircraft design is a critical parameter that quantifies the rate at which fuel is delivered to the engine. It plays a vital role in engine performance and efficiency. The formula for the mass flow rate (mdot) through a fuel injector can be defined as:
– m is the mass flow rate of fuel (in kilograms per second, kg/s).
– V is the velocity, representing the injector’s efficiency.
– A is the cross-sectional area of the injector opening (in square meters, m²).
– ρ is the density of the fuel (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
