Hi, I have some basic aerodynamic equation questions. If the equations are too complex and require all sorts of other variables such as air density, altitude, temperature, just provide a simpler form of the equation (in effect the first order approximation). Here are the basic variables I am using F – thrust in units of lb d – air flow in units of cubic feet per second v – velocity of air pushed out at the back end of the engine in feet per second a – surface area in ft squared x – angle of attack in degrees #1 AIR FLOW - THRUST For a propeller or fan based engines, what is the equation for computing thrust based upon cubic feet of air moved per unit of time? F = f (d, v) #2 – PRESSURE – AREA What's the equation for computing pressure or force on a unit of area if air is moving a specific velocity? Assume the area is perpendicular to the airflow (angle of attack = 90 deg). F = f (a, v). #3 - #2 for ANGLE OF ATTACK F = f(a, v, x)? Thanks.
