Rocket Mass Ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Rocket Mass Ratio
Rocket Mass Ratio is the ratio of the rocket's wet mass (vehicle plus contents plus propellant) to its dry mass (vehicle plus contents).
Symbol: MR
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Change in Rocket Velocity
Change in rocket velocity is the difference between the initial velocity of the rocket to its final state velocity.
Symbol: ΔV
Measurement: SpeedUnit: km/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Rocket Exhaust Velocity
Rocket exhaust velocity is the velocity of an exhaust stream after reduction by effects such as friction and pressure differences between the inside of the rocket and its surroundings.
Symbol: Ve
Measurement: SpeedUnit: km/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Rocket Mass Ratio?

Rocket Mass Ratio evaluator uses Rocket Mass Ratio = e^(Change in Rocket Velocity/Rocket Exhaust Velocity) to evaluate the Rocket Mass Ratio, Rocket Mass Ratio is a measure of the efficiency of a rocket, it describes how much more massive the vehicle is with propellant than without; that is, the ratio of the rocket's wet mass (vehicle plus contents plus propellant) to its dry mass (vehicle plus contents). Rocket Mass Ratio is denoted by MR symbol.

How to evaluate Rocket Mass Ratio using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Rocket Mass Ratio, enter Change in Rocket Velocity (ΔV) & Rocket Exhaust Velocity (Ve) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Rocket Mass Ratio
