I was just wondering if there is a math formula of some type that tells you how far out a rocket thrust flame trail would extend from a rocket motor if you just new the amout of thrust the rock generated in lbs of thrust....or is that info of really importance to any scientists?
I can imagine the type of fuel used would be important and amount of thrust generated would be important and maybe the diameter of the rocket motor opening?
I am guessing.
Anyone heard of a formula that predicts or measures the length of a flame trail? and what it is called?
flame trail is my word because I am assuming no smoke while the rocket motor is fired in space and not sure what else to call it.
thank you.
