Corrected flow

Corrected flow: Corrected Flow is the mass flow that would pass through a device (e.g. compressor, bypass duct, etc.) if the inlet pressure and temperature corresponded to ambient conditions at Sea Level, on a Standard Day (i.e. 14.696 lbf/in², 518.7R).

Corrected Flow , $w\sqrt{\theta}/{\delta}$ , can be calculated as follows, assuming Imperial Units:

$w\sqrt{\theta}/{\delta} = w(\sqrt{T}/\sqrt{518.7})/(P/14.696)$

Corrected Flow is often given the symbol $w c$ or $w r$ (for referred flow).

So-called Non-Dimensional Flow $(w\sqrt{T}/{P}$ is proportional to Corrected Flow:

$w\sqrt{T}/{P}= w\sqrt{\theta}/{\delta} * \sqrt{518.7}/{14.696}$

The equivalent equations for Preferred SI Units are: (101.325kPa, 288.15K)

$w\sqrt{\theta}/{\delta} = w(\sqrt{T}/\sqrt{288.15})/(P/101.325)$

$w\sqrt{T}/{P}= w\sqrt{\theta}/{\delta} * \sqrt{288.15}/{101.325}$

Nomenclature:

$P$ Stagnation (or Total) Pressure

$T$ Stagnation (or Total) Temperature

$w$ Real Mass Flow

$δ$ Referred Pressure

$θ$ Referred Temperature

In relative form, Corrected Flow, Referred Flow and Non-Dimensional Flow are all measures of axial Mach number.

Side note: If the mass flow can be consider an energy source such as fuel flow, the corrected flow is calculated as follows:

$w/(\delta * \sqrt{\theta})$
