In aircraft design, the velocity of a control system refers to the speed of the flow of mass or air through the control system. The formula to calculate velocity (V) is given by:
– Velocity (V) is measured in meters per second (m/s).
– Mass Flow Rate (ṁ) is the rate at which mass passes through the control system and is measured in kilograms per second (kg/s).
– Density (ρ) is the mass per unit volume of the substance and is typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
– Cross-Sectional Area (A) refers to the area through which the mass is flowing and is measured in square meters (m²).
