Characteristics Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Characteristics Velocity = sqrt((([R]*Temperature at Chamber)/Specific Heat Ratio)*((Specific Heat Ratio+1)/2)^((Specific Heat Ratio+1)/(Specific Heat Ratio-1)))
C^✸ = sqrt((([R]*T₁)/γ)*((γ+1)/2)^((γ+1)/(γ-1)))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[R] - Universal gas constant Value Taken As 8.31446261815324

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Characteristics Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Characteristics Velocity is a measure of the effectiveness with which the combustion in a rocket engine produces high temperature and pressure.
Temperature at Chamber - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature at Chamber typically refers to the temperature inside a closed chamber or enclosure.
Specific Heat Ratio - The specific heat ratio describes the ratio of specific heats of a gas at constant pressure to that at constant volume.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Temperature at Chamber: 256 Kelvin --> 256 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Ratio: 1.33 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C^✸ = sqrt((([R]*T₁)/γ)*((γ+1)/2)^((γ+1)/(γ-1))) --> sqrt((([R]*256)/1.33)*((1.33+1)/2)^((1.33+1)/(1.33-1)))

Evaluating ... ...

C^✸ = 68.5901685380425

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

68.5901685380425 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

68.5901685380425 ≈ 68.59017 Meter per Second <-- Characteristics Velocity
