The mass flow rate (\( \dot{m} \)) of the GE J35 engine, or any other engine, is a critical parameter in aircraft design and performance analysis. It represents the mass of air or exhaust gases passing through the engine per unit of time.
The formula to calculate mass flow rate is
– \(\dot{m}\) is the mass flow rate (in kilograms per second, kg/s).
– \(\rho\) is the density of the fluid (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
– \(A\) is the cross-sectional area of the flow (in square meters, m²).
– \(V\) is the velocity of the fluid (in meters per second, m/s).
