In aircraft design and engineering, “P_outlet_total” represents the total pressure at the outlet of a component or system, such as a compressor in an aircraft engine. Total pressure includes both static pressure and dynamic pressure, and it is a critical parameter used to assess the performance and behavior of various aircraft components.
The formula for calculating P_outlet_total can be defined as:
- P_outlet_total is the total pressure at the outlet, typically measured in pascals (Pa) or other pressure units.
- P_static_outlet is the static pressure at the outlet, typically measured in pascals (Pa) or other pressure units.
- ρ (rho) is the density of the fluid at the outlet, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or other density units.
- V_outlet is the velocity of the fluid at the outlet, typically measured in meters per second (m/s) or other velocity units
