In aircraft design, the velocity of the air-fuel mixture through a carburetor is a critical parameter that affects engine performance. The formula to calculate velocity (V) through a carburetor is as follows:
- V = Velocity of the air-fuel mixture (m/s)
- ṁ = Mass flow rate of the air-fuel mixture (kg/s)
- ρ = Density of the air-fuel mixture (kg/m³)
- A = Cross-sectional area of the carburetor throat (m²)
