Plots:
1. Specific Impulse (Isp) Variation with Area ratio (Ae/Ath).
2. Characteristic Velocity (C*) Variation with Area ratio (Ae/Ath).
3. Exhaust Velocity (Ve) Variation with Area ratio (Ae/Ath).
4. Thrust Coefficient (CF) Variation with Area ratio (Ae/Ath).
The Specific Impulse at Vacuum condition is specified in the NASA CEArun and was taken
from the CEArun Program. Using this Isp, vac , the specific impulse at given ambient pressure is
calculated by the relation,
𝐴𝑒 𝑃𝑎
𝐼𝑠𝑝,𝑃𝑎 = 𝐼𝑠𝑝,𝑣𝑎𝑐 − 𝐶 ∗ ∗ ( ) ∗ ( )
𝐴𝑡ℎ 𝑃𝑐,𝑡
