So, deny what you like but, not only do rockets need no air pressure but they provide more thrust in a vacuum that at sea-level.
That equation is thoroughly debunked
Incorrect! Would YOU care to prove how that video "thoroughly debunks" the "NASA" rocket thrust equation?
Your video is all smoke and mirrors
! Look what your maths and physics dropout,
Jerry Sprocket did:
Step #1:
| | Comments on step #1:
In the following use Ae for (exhaust area) and Ve = (exhaust velocity)
Note that Ae = (Volumetric flow rate)/Ve and that wherever Jerry Sprocket uses (pipe diameter)2 × π/4 we can simply write Ae.
I can't understand why Jerry Sprocket wrote (pipe diameter)2 × π/4 instead of simply Ae unless it was to add confusion and cover up the sleight of hand.
But had Ae been used it would have greatly simplified the equations and given these instead: 2) Ve = (Volumetric flow rate)Ae and then simply: 3) (Volumetric flow rate) = Ae × Velocity
Which is all rather obvious! |
Step #2:
| | Comments on step #2:
Using simply Ae instead of the silly (pipe diameter)2 × π/4 vastly simplifies this to:
Force = (Mass flow rate) × (Volumetric flow rate)/Ae
(Mass flow rate) = density × (Volumetric flow rate) (Volumetric flow rate) = (Mass flow rate) / density
|
Step #3:
| | Comments on step #3: Again replacing (pipe diameter)2 × π/4 by Ae
* You get: Force = (Mass flow rate)2 / (density × Ae)
So it's true that "There is no longer a need to calculate exit velocity" but the Force equation now involves density, which is not known!
But Jerry Sprocket is totally incorrect with the claim that "This states that mass flowrate" is essentially a force"! The right hand side if not "mass flowrate" but (mass flowrate)2/(area × density)!
Just look at the simplified equation: Force = (Mass flow rate)2 / (density × Ae)
But (Mass flow rate)/(density × Ae) is simply Ve
So all Jerry Sprocket has proved is that Force = (Mass flow rate) × Ve
Which, I do believe, is where we started.

Jerry Sprocket took a great circuitous route to get right back the the original force equation.
So,
Tatumsid your
Jerry Sprocket screwed up big-time and the NASA Rocket Thrust Equation is NOT "thoroughly debunked ".
Might I suggest that you get someone with a slight knowledge of Physics next time!
Care to try again?
The source of that, at
Rocket Thrust Equation, gives more details of the significance of the various terms.
