Thrust power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thrust Power = Mass Flow Rate*Flight Speed*(Exit Velocity-Flight Speed)
T_P = m_a*V*(V_e-V)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thrust Power - (Measured in Watt) - Thrust Power refers to the power generated by a propulsion system to produce thrust and propel an object forward.
Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass Flow Rate represents the amount of mass passing through a system per unit of time.
Flight Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Speed refers to the velocity at which an aircraft moves through the air.
Exit Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Exit Velocity refers to the speed at which gases expand at the exit of nozzle of a engine.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass Flow Rate: 3.5 Kilogram per Second --> 3.5 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required

What is thrust power?

The thrust developed by the engine overcomes the drag on the aircraft and in doing so it develops power, called the thrust power.

How to Calculate Thrust power?

Thrust power calculator uses Thrust Power = Mass Flow Rate*Flight Speed*(Exit Velocity-Flight Speed) to calculate the Thrust Power, The Thrust power formula is defined as the product of mass flow rate of air and aircraft forward velocity and multiplied by difference between aircraft jet velocity, forward velocity. Thrust Power is denoted by T_P symbol.
