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. 14.696lbf/in², 518.7R).
Corrected Flow ,'wsqrt{ heta}/{delta}', can be calculated as follows, assuming Imperial Units:
'wsqrt{ heta}/{delta} = w(sqrt{T}/sqrt{518.7})/(P/14.696)'
Corrected Flow is often given the symbol 'wc' or 'wr' (for referred flow).
So-called Non-Dimensional Flow '(wsqrt{T}/{P})' is proportional to Corrected Flow:
'wsqrt{T}/{P}= wsqrt{ heta}/{delta}
★ sqrt{518.7}/{14.696}'
The equivalent equations for Preferred SI Units are: (101.325kPa, 288.15K)
'wsqrt{ heta}/{delta} = w(sqrt{T}/sqrt{288.15})/(P/101.325)'
'wsqrt{T}/{P}= wsqrt{ heta}/{delta}
★ sqrt{288.15}/{101.325}'
Nomenclature:

★ 'P' Stagnation (or Total) Pressure

★ 'T' Stagnation (or Total) Temperature

★ 'w' Real Mass Flow

★ '{delta}' Referred Pressure

★ '{ heta}' Referred Temperature
In relative form, Corrected Flow, Referred Flow and Non-Dimensional Flow are all measures of axial Mach number.
