Calculation Formula

Thrust (F) = Mass Flow Rate (ṁ) × Exhaust Velocity (v)

Where:
F = Thrust (Newtons)
ṁ = Mass Flow Rate (kg/s)
v = Exhaust Velocity (m/s)

How to Use the Thrust Calculator

The Thrust Calculator is used to calculate the thrust generated by an engine based on the mass flow rate and exhaust velocity.

  1. Enter the mass flow rate of the exhaust in kg/s.
  2. Enter the exhaust velocity in m/s.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the thrust.
  4. The result will be displayed in Newtons (N).

Working Principle

Thrust is a mechanical force produced by the reaction of accelerating a mass of gas or fluid. The amount of thrust generated depends on the mass flow rate of the exhaust and its velocity. The formula used to calculate thrust is:

Thrust (F) = Mass Flow Rate (ṁ) × Exhaust Velocity (v)

This formula shows that the thrust is directly proportional to both the mass flow rate and the exhaust velocity.
