Path: Propulsion/Rocket
% Computes the exhaust velocity of a rocket from fuel lower heating value. The exhaust pressures are used as a ratio so can be any units. Type UEQR for a demo. Since version 8. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: uE = UEQR( qR, gamma, p0, pE ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ qR (1,1) Heating value (J/kg) gamma (1,1) Ratio of specific heats p0 (1,1) Combustion pressure (N/m^2) pE (1,:) Exhaust pressure (N/m^2) ------- Outputs ------- uE (1,:) Exhaust velocity (m/s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
