4 Thermal Rocket Exhaust Velocity Exhaust velocity is V e = 2γ RT o γ 1 M [ 1 ( pe p o ) γ 1 γ ] where M average molecular weight of exhaust R universal gas constant = Joules mole o K γ ratio of specific heats 1.2 p e pressure at nozzle exit plane p o combustion chamber pressure 4
5 Ideal Thermal Rocket Exhaust Velocity Ideal exhaust velocity is 2γ RT o V e = γ 1 M This corresponds to an ideally expanded nozzle All thermal energy converted to kinetic energy of exhaust Only a function of temperature and molecular weight! 5
6 Thermal Rocket Performance Thrust is T = m V e + ( p e p amb )A e Effective exhaust velocity T = m c c = V e + p e p amb Expansion ratio A t = γ +1 A e 2 1 γ 1 p e p 0 ( ) A e m 1 γ γ +1 γ 1 1 p e p 0 γ 1 γ I sp = c g 0 6
7 A Word About Specific Impulse Defined as thrust/propellant used English units: lbs thrust/(lbs prop/sec)=sec Metric units: N thrust/(kg prop/sec)=m/sec Two ways to regard discrepancy - lbs is not mass in English units - should be slugs Isp = thrust/weight flow rate of propellant If the real intent of specific impulse is I sp = Ṫ m and T = ṁv e then I sp = V e!!! 7
8 Nozzle Design Pressure ratio p 0 /p e =100 (1470 psi-->14.7 psi) A e /A t =11.9 Pressure ratio p 0 /p e =1000 (1470 psi-->1.47 psi) A e /A t =71.6 Difference between sea level and ideal vacuum V e V e = 1 p e V e,ideal p 0 γ 1 γ I sp,vacuum =455 sec --> I sp,sl =333 sec 8
