Mass Flow Rate through Engine
Go Mass Flow Rate = Mach Number*Area*Total Pressure*sqrt(Specific Heat Ratio*Molar Mass/(Total Temperature*[R]))*(1+(Specific Heat Ratio-1)* Mach Number^2/2)^(-(Specific Heat Ratio+1)/(2*Specific Heat Ratio-2))
Exit Velocity given Molar Mass
Go Exit Velocity = sqrt(((2*Chamber Temperature*[R]*Specific Heat Ratio)/(Molar Mass)/(Specific Heat Ratio-1))*(1-(Exit Pressure/Chamber Pressure)^(1-1/Specific Heat Ratio)))
Compressible Area Ratio
Go Area Ratio = ((Specific Heat Ratio+1)/2)^(-(Specific Heat Ratio+1)/(2*Specific Heat Ratio-2))*((1+(Specific Heat Ratio-1)/2*Mach Number^2)^((Specific Heat Ratio+1)/(2*Specific Heat Ratio-2)))/Mach Number
Exit Velocity given Molar Specific Heat Capacity
Go Exit Velocity = sqrt(2*Total Temperature*Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(1-(Exit Pressure/Chamber Pressure)^(1-1/Specific Heat Ratio)))
Rocket Exit Pressure
Go Exit Pressure = Chamber Pressure*((1+(Specific Heat Ratio-1)/2*Mach Number^2)^-(Specific Heat Ratio/(Specific Heat Ratio-1)))
Exit Velocity given Mach Number and Exit Temperature
Go Exit Velocity = Mach Number*sqrt(Specific Heat Ratio*[R]/Molar Mass*Exit Temperature)
Rocket Exit Temperature
Go Exit Temperature = Chamber Temperature*(1+(Specific Heat Ratio-1)/2*Mach Number^2)^-1
Total Impulse
Go Total impulse = int(Thrust,x,Initial time,Final time)
Power required to produce Exhaust Jet Velocity given Mass of Rocket and Acceleration
Go Power Required = (Mass of Rocket*Acceleration*Effective Exhaust Velocity)/2
Power required to produce Exhaust Jet Velocity
Go Power Required = 1/2*Mass Flow Rate*Exit Velocity^2
Thrust given Exhaust Velocity and Mass Flow Rate
Go Thrust = Mass Flow Rate*Exit Velocity
Thrust given Mass and Acceleration of Rocket
Go Thrust = Mass of Rocket*Acceleration
Acceleration of Rocket
Go Acceleration = Thrust/Mass of Rocket
Photon Propulsion Thrust
Go Thrust = 1000*Power in Jet/[c]

Photon Propulsion Thrust Formula

Thrust = 1000*Power in Jet/[c]
F = 1000*Pe/[c]

What is thrust?

Thrust is a reaction force, When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but in opposite direction, to be applied to that system. The force applied on a surface in a direction perpendicular to the surface is also called thrust.

How to Calculate Photon Propulsion Thrust?

Photon Propulsion Thrust calculator uses Thrust = 1000*Power in Jet/[c] to calculate the Thrust, The Photon propulsion thrust formula is defined as the 1000 times the ratio of power in jet to the velocity of light. Thrust is denoted by F symbol.

How to calculate Photon Propulsion Thrust using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Photon Propulsion Thrust, enter Power in Jet (Pe) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Photon Propulsion Thrust calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.2E-6 = 1000*1248000/[c].
