It's not in the link, so what that proves nothing about CoM

It proves you don't use COM to calculate the Work done by a gas don't it?

Which is the subject btw...

Gas flows naturally from areas of higher to lower pressure using its own energy (is this simple enough for you?):

http://www.answers.com/Q/Does_gas_flow_from_low_pressure_to_high_pressure?#slide=1

And when it flows into an area of zero pressure its energy is conserved & no Work is done...

This is the result called free expansion:

http://web.mit.edu/16.unified/www/FALL/thermodynamics/notes/node33.html

Conservation. Of. Energy.

Learning can be fun!

So you were unable to show any of these three points to be wrong, so you admit they are true.
1. That gas particles have momentum
2. That momentum must be conserved in a gas.
3. That to leave the rocket in -> direction, then the gas particles must have momentum in -> direction.
https://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html

I've posted it enough times.
Wait, Papa posted a link to a website that says gasses are made of particles, and he said that the website is correct.
So you admit gas is made of particles.

Also here is some better drawings from http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/91789/rocket-thrust-gas-free-expansion-of-gas


Also you should read this

If someone ever says "free expansion does no work" all they mean is that it does no work on the vacuum, which is pretty obvious in retrospect. This is because 19th century experimenters and 21st century high schools find it easiest to talk about gas properties in terms of pistons pushing on containers of gas. If the piston is replaced by nothingness, well clearly no work will be extracted from the system.

The combustion chamber is put under immense heat and pressure.

It has not even been shown that combustion is possible in a vacuum for a start.

And pressure is a scalar quantity, so there will be no unbalanced force within the chamber anyway:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure#Definition

(Empirical take note!)

An unbalanced force can only be created when the internal pressure created by the rocket engine meets an external pressure.

In a vacuum there is no external pressure so no unbalanced force is created.

The gas molecules will simply leave the rocket, with both energy & momentum conserved, & whiz off into the vast nothingness of space.

This is all perfectly understandable if you simply get your head round free expansion btw.

Wow. Force=Pressure*Area right. The Force is a vector and the Area is a (psudo)vector. And since there is a hole in the rocket, the sum of all of the area vectors don't equal zero, but you won't understand this as vector calculus is a bit above your head.
Since p isn't zero, and A isn't zero, F isn't Zero.

No, that's wrong. The internal pressure can only do work against the external pressure when the external pressure isn't zero. BUT THE GAS IS NOT TRYING TO DO WORK ON THE VACUUM, IT'S DOING WORK ON THE ROCKET!

To leave the rocket they must have momentum relative to the rocket, therefore something else must gain momentum in the opposite direction.

Yes.

But it is still just a derivative of N2, i.e. f=ma, thus only representing f1, so still needs a second, external mass with which to interact in order to create motion according to N3 (f1=f2).

But a vacuum is Nothing; thus there can be no second object, f2, & no motion can be created.

All simple stuff, as Newton & Thermodynamics are not incompatible.

Well, when you're on the ropes, swinging wildly is an option of last resort.

Quote

This is already already answered (see below), but there is a better answer, just for you. If you're right (clue: you're not), then that would also apply for a rocket engine in an atmosphere. Congratulations Einstein, you just proved rockets don't work in an atmosphere! (Just in case you're confused, you didn't prove that. I was employing sarcasm: it makes the Schadenfreude even more palatable).

Velocity is a vector quantity. Rocket thrust in a vacuum is given by:-

F = mVe + peAe

Hence, the thrust produced is also a vector. But you have proven something! Despite your inability to comprehend how vector and scalar quantities combine, you claim to be the only person on the planet capable of interpreting the Joule experiment to mean that all of rocket science is wrong! Good job, you! Well done sir!

(This roast is getting a little dry as it's going on too long - will need gravy shortly).

Quote

In a vacuum there is no external pressure so no unbalanced force is created.

I'll re-plate your dinner and send it out again.

The pressure is created in the combustion chamber, which has a narrow opening (called the throat) at one end. That creates an imbalance of forces.

Wrongety wrong. The gas isn't freely expanding, as it is being constantly created in the combustion chamber. Pressure, ooh, several hundred Pa for the duration of the burn.

As usual you have it all wrong. Gas is gas, mass is mass and velocity is velocity wherever it happens to be. The problem is not the concept.....conservation of momentum, it's your desire to shoehorn it into you narrow predetermined view.
Go on, seriously think about those balloons and how they might act....here on the ground and in a vacuum..... the result is very similar.....gas moves in one direction and the balloon moves in the opposite. It's not a big stretch of the imagination.

Because the gas particles just know the rocket is there, even though Papa at some point posted that ideal gas molecules don't experience any forces. I know it makes no sense, you just have to go with it lol.

Also I think I may have found an even simpler argument for why Papa is wrong, even though it's still probably above his level.

1. The velocity of the center of mass of a closed system can't change
2. So in some frame of reference th velocity of the center of mass is zero, in this frame of reference the center of mass can never change position.
3. The gas leaving the rocket would change the center of mass unless the rocket moved as well.

Except that you are misrepresenting free expansion. 

You keep saying that in a Joule-Thompson experiment, no work is being done as a gas expands into a vacuum.

This is simply not true.

According to your own source:
The sign of work
As a matter of convention, negative work occurs when a system does work on the surroundings.

    When the gas does work the volume of a gas increases (ΔV>0) and the work done is negative.
    When work is done on the gas, the volume of the gas decreases (ΔV<0) and work is positive.

So, as the gas is leaves the pressurized chamber, positive work is done and when the gas expands into the evacuated chamber, negative work is done giving a net result of zero work done by the system.  However, there is still work being done within different parts of the system.

In the same way, as the pressurized gas leaves the rocket, positive work is done in that part of the system.

Why do I need citations when it is all basic mechanics.
But Sure, citations.
1. The velocity of the centre of mass of a closed system can't change
http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/physics/APPhyNet/Dynamics/Center%20of%20Mass/Center_of_Mass_1.html
Quote
The net (external) force on a system of particles equals the mass of the system times the acceleration of the system's centre of mass
So if the net external force is zero, which it is in a closed system, the velocity doesn't change.

2. So in some frame of reference the velocity of the centre of mass is zero, in this frame of reference the centre of mass can never change position.
Does this need a citation?? Any object has a frame of reference where it's velocity is zero.
3. The gas leaving the rocket would change the centre of mass unless the rocket moved as well.
Again basic mechanics. All of the gas leaving the rocket means it moves towards the hole, that would change the centre of mass unless "some other object" (you can guess what) moves in the right direction to keep the centre of mass constant.

Stop being a complete idiot. The free expansion into a vacuum applies only to a closed isolated system.
          Difference between Free Expansion of a Gas and Reversible Isothermal Expansion
and any number more references you like.

How come YOU are the only one claiming otherwise. Even your wonderful KhanAcademy reference clearly states that what you were quote only applies to piston-cylinder type systems, not continuous flow systems like steam and gas turbines or rockets.

It's funny how steam and rockets both use choked de Laval nozzles - remember them?
