quantitykind:SpecificImpulse

Type
Description

The impulse produced by a rocket divided by the mass $$mp$$ of propellant consumed. Specific impulse $${I_{sp}}$$ is a widely used measure of performance for chemical, nuclear, and electric rockets. It is usually given in seconds for both U.S. Customary and International System (SI) units. The impulse produced by a rocket is the thrust force $$F$$ times its duration $$t$$ in seconds. $$I_{sp}$$ is the thrust per unit mass flowrate, but with $$g_o$$, is the thrust per weight flowrate. The specific impulse is given by the equation: $$I_{sp} = \frac{F}{\dot{m}g_o}$$.
