| 1. | Exhaust velocity is best neither too low nor too high.
|
| 2. | Additional thrust is generated by the higher resulting exhaust velocity.
|
| 3. | Performance headers work to increase the exhaust velocity as much as possible.
|
| 4. | This also means that rockets are able to exceed their exhaust velocity.
|
| 5. | The exhaust velocity would be 157 km / s.
|
| 6. | This reduces engine bay temperature and increases exhaust velocity.
|
| 7. | It is defined such that it is related to the effective exhaust velocity by:
|
| 8. | Actual and effective exhaust velocity are the same in rocket engines not utilizing air.
|
| 9. | A rocket with a high exhaust velocity can achieve the same impulse with less reaction mass.
|
| 10. | For rocket-like propulsion systems this is a function of mass fraction and exhaust velocity.
