Gas generator cycle efficiency density Calculator

The efficiency of a gas generator cycle can be calculated using the specific impulse equation, which relates the efficiency to the specific impulse and the effective exhaust velocity. The specific impulse is defined as the thrust produced per unit weight flow rate of propellant consumed. It’s expressed as:

where

  • is the effective exhaust velocity
  • is the standard acceleration due to gravity.
