mc = (T-b*(Vj,b-V))/(Vj,c-V)
This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Mass Flow Rate Core - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - 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.
Turbofan Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - Turbofan Thrust is the total thrust produced by jet core efflux and bypass air which has been accelerated by a ducted fan.
Mass Flow Rate Bypass - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass Flow Rate Bypass refers to the rate at which air bypasses the core of a turbofan engine and flows through the bypass duct.
Exit Velocity Bypass Nozzle - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Exit Velocity Bypass Nozzle is the speed at which exhaust gases exit the secondary nozzle of a turbofan exit.
Flight Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Speed refers to the velocity at which an aircraft travels through the air.
Exit Velocity Core Nozzle - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Exit Velocity Core Nozzle is the speed at which exhaust gases exit the primary nozzle of a turbofan engine.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Turbofan Thrust: 17.8 Kilonewton --> 17800 Newton (Check conversion ​here)
Mass Flow Rate Bypass: 258 Kilogram per Second --> 258 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Exit Velocity Bypass Nozzle: 250 Meter per Second --> 250 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Flight Speed: 198 Meter per Second --> 198 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Exit Velocity Core Nozzle: 300 Meter per Second --> 300 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
mc = (T-ṁb*(Vj,b-V))/(Vj,c-V) --> (17800-258*(250-198))/(300-198)
Evaluating ... ...
mc = 42.9803921568627
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
42.9803921568627 Kilogram per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
42.9803921568627 42.98039 Kilogram per Second <-- Mass Flow Rate Core
