Thrust Coefficient For a Ramjet Engine Calculator

A ramjet engine is a type of air-breathing jet engine that uses the vehicle’s forward motion to compress incoming air without the need for a compressor. The thrust coefficient for a ramjet engine is a dimensionless parameter that characterizes the efficiency of the engine in converting the kinetic energy of the incoming air into thrust.

The thrust coefficient is defined as the ratio of the thrust force produced by the propulsion system to the dynamic pressure of the incoming air. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

where,

where:

• C_T​ is the thrust coefficient,
• $T$ is the thrust force,
• $\rho$ is the air density,
• $V$ is the airspeed,
• $A$ is the reference area.
