Propulsion Net Thrust Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thrust Force = Air Mass Flow Rate*(Velocity of Jet-Flight Velocity)
Ft = m_af*(V_J-V_f)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thrust Force - (Measured in Newton) - Thrust Force acting perpendicular to job piece.
Air Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Air Mass Flow Rate is the mass of intake air that is flowing per unit time.
Velocity of Jet - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Jet can be described as the movement of the plate in meters per second.
Flight Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Velocity is defined as a positive towards the tail of the aircraft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Air Mass Flow Rate: 0.9 Kilogram per Second --> 0.9 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity of Jet: 60.9 Meter per Second --> 60.9 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Flight Velocity: 50 Meter per Second --> 50 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Ft = m_af*(V_J-V_f) --> 0.9*(60.9-50)

Evaluating ... ...

Ft = 9.81

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.81 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.81 Newton <-- Thrust Force

What is jet propulsion?

Jet propulsion is the propulsion of an object in one direction, produced by ejecting a jet of fluid in the opposite direction.

How to Calculate Propulsion Net Thrust?

Propulsion Net Thrust calculator uses Thrust Force = Air Mass Flow Rate*(Velocity of Jet-Flight Velocity) to calculate the Thrust Force, Propulsion Net Thrust refers to the resultant force produced by a propulsion system, typically a jet or rocket engine, that propels an aircraft or spacecraft forward, it represents the difference between the thrust generated by the engine and the aerodynamic drag acting against the vehicle's motion. Thrust Force is denoted by Ft symbol.

How to calculate Propulsion Net Thrust using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Propulsion Net Thrust, enter Air Mass Flow Rate (m_af), Velocity of Jet (V_J) & Flight Velocity (V_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Propulsion Net Thrust calculation can be explained with given input values -> 9.81 = 0.9*(60.9-50).

FAQ

What is Propulsion Net Thrust?

Propulsion Net Thrust refers to the resultant force produced by a propulsion system, typically a jet or rocket engine, that propels an aircraft or spacecraft forward, it represents the difference between the thrust generated by the engine and the aerodynamic drag acting against the vehicle's motion and is represented as Ft = m_af*(V_J-V_f) or Thrust Force = Air Mass Flow Rate*(Velocity of Jet-Flight Velocity). Air Mass Flow Rate is the mass of intake air that is flowing per unit time, Velocity of Jet can be described as the movement of the plate in meters per second & Flight Velocity is defined as a positive towards the tail of the aircraft.

How to calculate Propulsion Net Thrust?

Propulsion Net Thrust refers to the resultant force produced by a propulsion system, typically a jet or rocket engine, that propels an aircraft or spacecraft forward, it represents the difference between the thrust generated by the engine and the aerodynamic drag acting against the vehicle's motion is calculated using Thrust Force = Air Mass Flow Rate*(Velocity of Jet-Flight Velocity). To calculate Propulsion Net Thrust, you need Air Mass Flow Rate (m_af), Velocity of Jet (V_J) & Flight Velocity (V_f). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Air Mass Flow Rate, Velocity of Jet & Flight Velocity and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
