Today's Question As An Exercise For The Reader, Rocket Bronies! · 7:34am Jun 19th, 2016
Compute the thrust power, exhaust velocity, specific impulse, thrust, and mass flow of the Celestia Drive.
(i.e., that particular fusion torch drive created by placing an alicorn at the base of your rocket and feeding her cake to transform by obscure magical metabolic processes into burning hot nuclear plasma)
For extra credit, explore how the engine characteristics can be modified by altering the inputs. Does red velvet cake produce higher thrust or better specific impulse than tres leches? There's a whole field of cake-thrust-ology to explore! Look at us here talking when there's science to do!
This is silly and ridiculous and I want to try solving it anyway.
*sigh* My brain is never going to forgive me. Thanks, Nova.
