What is Throat Velocity ?

The throat velocity in rocketry refers to the velocity of the gases passing through the throat of the rocket engine nozzle, the throat is the narrowest section of the nozzle where the flow area is minimized to achieve the highest possible gas velocity at that point, it is a crucial parameter in rocket engine design as it determines the maximum velocity of the exhaust gases at the throat, this velocity is typically much higher than the velocity of the rocket itself.

How to Calculate Throat Velocity of Nozzle?

Throat Velocity of Nozzle calculator uses Throat Velocity = sqrt((2*Specific Heat Ratio)/(Specific Heat Ratio+1)*[R]*Temperature at Chamber) to calculate the Throat Velocity, Throat Velocity of Nozzle formula is defined as a measure of the speed of gas flow at the nozzle's throat, which is critical for optimizing thrust and efficiency in rocket propulsion systems. Throat Velocity is denoted by v_t symbol.
