Equations Flashcards
1
Q
Density altitude
A
DA = (actual temp - assumed ISA temp) x 120 + PA
2
Q
Atmospheric density equation
A
0.3484x (P/T)
T in Kelvin’s (c + 273.15)
P hPa
3
Q
Pressure lapse rate
A
96T/ρ
T in Kelvin’s +273.15
ρ in hPa
4
Q
Temp conversions
A
C° to F° (c x 9/5) + 32
F to c (f - 32 ) x 5/9
For k to f just get rid of 273.15
5
Q
Stefan Boltzmann
A
Ρ = ε Α σ T^4
P is energy radiated
ε emissivity of substance
A surface area
σ Stefan Boltzmann constant (5.67 x 10^-8 w/m^2K)
T temp in Kelvin
6
Q
CCL LCL
A
LCL is forced lifting of dry air (dalr)
LCL= (400 x (st - dp) x 0.85
St= surface temp
Dp= dew point
CCL is convective lifting of unstable air ( start at higher temp and therefore must travel higher before cloud forms)
CCL = 400 x (st - dp)
