The material density of a turbine blade in a gas turbine engine refers to the mass of the blade material per unit volume. It’s an important property that affects the overall weight and structural characteristics of the blade.
The formula to calculate material density is as follows:
- Material Density is the density of the turbine blade material, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- Mass of Blade Material is the total mass of the material used in the blade, measured in kilograms (kg).
- Volume of Blade Material is the total volume of the blade material, measured in cubic meters (m³).
