Effective Exhaust Velocity
(symbol ce)
</dt>
A fictitious exhaust
velocity that would theoretically produce the observed value of jet thrust.
</dd>
The effective exhaust velocity ce is determined by the
equation
exhaust gases; A is the nozzle exit area; p1 is static pressure at the nozzle exit; p2 is ambient pressure; g is the acceleration of gravity; and w is the weight flow rate of exhaust gases. [[/a>|/a> ]]
