How to Evaluate Oxidizer Mass Flow Rate?

Oxidizer Mass Flow Rate evaluator uses Oxidizer Mass Flow Rate = (Propellant Mixture Ratio*Propellant Mass Flow Rate)/(Propellant Mixture Ratio+1) to evaluate the Oxidizer Mass Flow Rate, Oxidizer Mass Flow Rate refers to the rate at which the oxidizer is consumed or expelled from the engine, it is used to determine the flow rate of oxidizer into the combustion chamber, which in turn affects combustion efficiency, chamber pressure, and thrust generation. Oxidizer Mass Flow Rate is denoted by o symbol.
