Rocket Exhaust Gas Velocity Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Rocket Exhaust Gas Velocity?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

V e = \sqrt{(\frac{2 \cdot γ}{γ - 1}) \cdot [R] \cdot T 1 \cdot (1 - {(\frac{p 2}{p 1})}^{\frac{γ - 1}{γ}})}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

V e = \sqrt{(\frac{2 \cdot 1.33}{1.33 - 1}) \cdot [R] \cdot 256K \cdot (1 - {(\frac{1.239MPa}{1256MPa})}^{\frac{1.33 - 1}{1.33}})}

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

V e = \sqrt{(\frac{2 \cdot 1.33}{1.33 - 1}) \cdot 8.3145 \cdot 256K \cdot (1 - {(\frac{1.239MPa}{1256MPa})}^{\frac{1.33 - 1}{1.33}})}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

V e = \sqrt{(\frac{2 \cdot 1.33}{1.33 - 1}) \cdot 8.3145 \cdot 256K \cdot (1 - {(\frac{1.2E+6Pa}{1.3E+9Pa})}^{\frac{1.33 - 1}{1.33}})}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

V e = \sqrt{(\frac{2 \cdot 1.33}{1.33 - 1}) \cdot 8.3145 \cdot 256 \cdot (1 - {(\frac{1.2E+6}{1.3E+9})}^{\frac{1.33 - 1}{1.33}})}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

V e = 118.644770171364m/s

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

V e = 118.6448m/s
