Problem 3(15 points)
Consider a rocket nozzle which has been designed for optimal operation at an ambient
pressure of pa=25kPa to produce an ideal thrust of approximately 80.5 kN with an ideal
chamber pressure of 3.95 MPa by employing a nozzle with a throat diameter of 12.5 cm and
exit diameter of 48 cm . This nozzle will be attached to a previously built thrust chamber
which operates at T0=3300K using combustion gases with =1.25 and R=370(J)kgK.
However, test measurements at the stated pressure conditions yield a thrust of only 72.5 kN
when the measured flow rate is 32.0kgs. Find the applicable correction factors ,
and CF) and the actual specific impulse assuming frozen flow throughout the nozzle.
