The Total Pressure at Compressor Inlet in aircraft design refers to the combined static pressure and dynamic pressure of the incoming air before it enters the compressor section of a gas turbine engine. It is an important parameter for assessing the performance of the engine.
The formula for calculating the Total Pressure at Compressor Inlet is as follows:Â
- Static Pressure at Compressor Inlet: This is the static air pressure at the inlet of the compressor and is typically measured in Pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
- Dynamic Pressure at Compressor Inlet: This is the dynamic pressure of the incoming air at the compressor inlet and is typically measured in Pascals (Pa) or psi.
