This document summarizes the solutions to several problems regarding rocket performance calculations for a rocket with a thrust of 8896 N, propellant consumption of 3.867 kg/s, and flight velocity of 400 m/s. It includes calculations of effective exhaust velocity, kinetic energy of the jet, internal efficiency, propulsive efficiency, overall efficiency, specific impulse, and specific propellant consumption. It also includes calculations of specific power assuming a dry mass of 80 kg and duration of 3 minutes. Finally, it describes plotting the variation of thrust and specific impulse against altitude using atmospheric pressure data and engine parameters from tables.

a. Effective exhaust velocity
b. Kinetic energy of the jet for 1 kg of fuel
c. Internal efficiency (
d. Propulsive efficiency
e. Overall efficiency
f. Specific impulse )
g. Specific propellant consumption
