Statement
1. If one takes a given rocket, with a fixed chamber pressure, and replaces its operating
gas by one with half the molecular mass, the thrust does not change.
‫ ܨ‬ൌ ܲ௖ ‫ܣ‬௧ ܿி and ܿி depends on geometry and ߛ, not molecular mass.

2. For any external pressure, adding segments to a supersonic nozzle (increasing ௘ൗ‫) ܣ‬
௧
always increases thrust.
Maximum thrust when ܲ௘ ൌ ܲ௔ . Extending the nozzle more than that creates suction,
reduces thrust.
3. A conventional rocket nozzle operates on the ground with ܲ௘ ൌ ͲǤͷܽ‫݉ݐ‬. A device is
proposed that will force flow separation at the point in the nozzle where ܲ ൌ ͳܽ‫݉ݐ‬Ǥ This
will increase thrust.
Separation will allow back-filling of the negative pressure region past ܲ ൌ ͳܽ‫݉ݐ‬Ǥ
4. A small test rocket is fired in vacuum and measurements are made of the jet flow speed
many exhaust diameters downstream. When this is done using different expansion area
ratios ‫ܣ‬௘ Τ‫ܣ‬௧ , the downstream speed is found to be invariant.
The speed for downstream is ܿ ൌ ‫ܨ‬ൗ݉ሶ , i.e. the specific impulse (times ݃). This does vary
with ‫ܣ‬௘ Τ‫ܣ‬௧ .
5. The method of characteristics can be used to design the contour of a nozzle, but only
downstream from the throat.
The M.O.C. does require ‫ ܯ‬൐ ͳ.
6. In a solid propellant rocket, increasing the throat area increases the thrust.

8. In an equilibrium nozzle expansion, dissociated species recombine fairly completely.
This means the performance is the same as one would calculate if dissociation were
ignored in the chamber.
The heat of dissociation is all recovered in the nozzle recombination, but part of it at
ܲ ൏ ܲ௖ , so the expansion to ܲ௘ is less efficient than it would be from ܲ௖ .
9. The chemical reactions that are selected for imposing equilibrium in the calculation of
chamber temperature must be the ones that actually happen during combustion.
They can be selected arbitrarily, as long as they linearly span the space of possible
reactions.

temperature is maximum.
