What is the characteristic velocity of a rocket if the chamber pressure is 5 MPa, the nozzle throat diameter is 75 mm and the mass flow rate is 25 kg/s?

What is the characteristic velocity of a rocket if the chamber pressure is 5 MPa, the nozzle throat diameter is 75 mm and the mass flow rate is 25 kg/s? Correct Answer 884 m/s

Characteristic velocity = Chamber pressure x throat area / mass flow rate. It is an important performance parameter of rocket engines. So, Characteristic velocity = / 25 = 884 m/s.
