Trade-Off Ratio Problems

This document discusses two trade-off ratio problems. The first problem provides mass and specific impulse values for two rocket stages and asks to calculate the trade-off ratios. The second problem gives mass and specific impulse values for the booster and first stage of a launch vehicle and asks to calculate the ideal burnout velocity at the end of the first stage burn.

Trade-off Ratio Problems

1/7
Problem No. 01

Consider a rocket with the following mass configuration.

m p1 = 21087kg ; ms1 = 1296kg ; I sp1 = 261s


m p 2 = 3854kg ; ms 2 = 360kg ; I sp 2 = 324s
m* = 668kg
Obtain the trade-off ratios.

Problem No. 02

Consider the booster and first stage of PSLV, as defined


below.

m0 = 295T ; m p 0 = 9T ; ms 0 = 2T ; I sp1 = 262s; tb 0 = 44s


m p1 = 138T ; ms1 = 30T ; I sp 2 = 269s; tb1 = 105s

Assuming that there are 6 boosters and that all 6 boosters


and the first stage fire together, determine the ideal
burnout velocity at the end of the first stage burnout.
