Enter the total thrust (N), the chamber pressure (Pa), and the throat area (m^2) into the Thrust Coefficient Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Thrust Coefficient.
Thrust Coefficient Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Thrust Coefficient.
TC = F / (Pc * At)
Variables:
- TC is the Thrust Coefficient ( )
- F is the total thrust (N)
- Pc is the chamber pressure (Pa)
- At is the throat area (m^2)
How to Calculate Thrust Coefficient?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Thrust Coefficient.
- First, determine the total thrust (N).
- Next, determine the chamber pressure (Pa).
- Next, determine the throat area (m^2).
- Next, gather the formula from above = TC = F / (Pc * At).
- Finally, calculate the Thrust Coefficient.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total thrust (N) = 300
chamber pressure (Pa) = 10
throat area (m^2) = 20
TC = F / (Pc * At) = ?
