Bypass Ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Bypass Ratio
The Bypass Ratio is defined as the mass flow of air passing outside the core divided by the mass flow through the core.
Symbol: bpr
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mass Flow Rate Bypass
Mass Flow Rate Bypass refers to the rate at which air bypasses the core of a turbofan engine and flows through the bypass duct.
Symbol: b
Measurement: Mass Flow RateUnit: kg/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mass Flow Rate Core
Mass Flow Rate Core refers to the rate at which air flows through the core of a turbofan engine, specifically through the combustion chamber and the turbine.
Symbol: mc
Measurement: Mass Flow RateUnit: kg/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
