Path: StraightLine/ConstantThrust
% Velocity change with constant thrust given fuel and time Computes the velocity change with constant thrust as a function of exhaust velocity. This is an analytical solution. If the time vector is not entered, it consumes all of the fuel. Type DVConstantThrust for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: dV = DVConstantThrust( thrust, mD, mF, uE, t ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ thrust (1,1) Thrust level (N) mD (1,1) Dry mass (kg) mF (1,1) Fuel mass (kg) uE (1,:) Exhaust velocity (km/s) t (1,:) Time (s) ------- Outputs ------- dV (1,:) Velocity change (m/s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
