How to Evaluate Gross thrust?

Gross thrust evaluator uses Gross Thrust = Mass Flow Rate*Exit Velocity to evaluate the Gross Thrust, Gross Thrust is a measure of the forward force exerted by a propulsion system, calculated as the product of the mass flow rate and exit velocity of the exhaust gases. Gross Thrust is denoted by TG symbol.

How to evaluate Gross thrust using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Gross thrust, enter Mass Flow Rate (ma) & Exit Velocity (Ve) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Gross thrust

What is the formula to find Gross thrust?
The formula of Gross thrust is expressed as Gross Thrust = Mass Flow Rate*Exit Velocity. Here is an example- 868 = 3.5*248.
How to calculate Gross thrust?
With Mass Flow Rate (ma) & Exit Velocity (Ve) we can find Gross thrust using the formula - Gross Thrust = Mass Flow Rate*Exit Velocity.
Can the Gross thrust be negative?
No, the Gross thrust, measured in Force cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Gross thrust?
Gross thrust is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Gross thrust can be measured.
