Calculating the velocity of a GE CF700 engine requires knowing the mass flow rate (\(ṁ\)) and the cross-sectional area (\(A\)) of the engine’s air intake, as well as the density (\(\rho\)) of the incoming air. You can use the formula below to calculate the velocity (\(V\)):
– \(V\) is the velocity of the air entering the engine (measured in meters per second, m/s).
– \(ṁ\) is the mass flow rate (measured in kilograms per second, kg/s).
– \(\rho\) is the density of the fluid (measured in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
– \(A\) is the cross-sectional area of the engine’s air intake (measured in square meters, m²).
