Expand description
Nozzle exit-state kernels: the branch-selected inverse of the area–Mach
relation and the isentropic exit-state composition. Both build on the
existing Mach-parameterized isentropic kernels in kernels/fluids/ — no
isentropic formula is restated here.
Functions§
- inverse_
area_ mach_ kernel - Mach number from the area ratio — the branch-selected inverse of the area–Mach relation
- nozzle_
exit_ state_ kernel - Isentropically expanded nozzle exit state from chamber conditions — the
unstated input that makes the SRP momentum-flux ratio computable from a
commanded throttle: exit Mach from the inverse area–Mach relation, static
exit pressure/temperature from the existing isentropic-ratio kernels, exit
density from the ideal-gas state relation
ρ = p/(R_s·T)(this crate’s single authoritative use), and exit velocityu_e = M_e · a(T_e)through the existing speed-of-sound kernel.
