The velocity (V) of the exhaust gases from an afterburner is influenced by the engine’s thrust and the specific design of the afterburner. It is measured in meters per second (m/s) in the International System of Units (SI).
- ṁ is the mass flow rate in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- ρ is the air density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- A is the cross-sectional area Afterburner (in square meters, m²).
- V is the velocity of the afterburner (in meters per second, m/s).
