Can we directly set the bitrate in a WAV file?

I’m working with WAV audio files and would like to know if it's possible to directly set a specific bitrate (e.g., 128 kbps or 256 kbps) for a WAV file.
From what I understand, WAV files are typically uncompressed (PCM), and their bitrate is derived from parameters like sample rate, bit depth, and channel count.
- Can the bitrate be explicitly set in a WAV file header?
- If not, how is the bitrate calculated?
