Path: StraightLine/Straight2D
% Find a mass-optimal straight-line exhaust velocity using fminbnd This is the exhaust velocity that maximises the payload fraction for the requested mission (time and distance). Type OptimalExhaustVelocity for a demo to Jupiter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [uEOpt,lambda,eflag,alpha] = OptimalExhaustVelocity( d ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ d (.) Engine data structure ------- Outputs ------- uE (1,1) Exhaust velocity (km/s) lambda (1,1) Maximum payload fraction (kg/kg) eflag (1,1) Exit flag alpha (1,1) Payload/power ratio, mPL/P (kg/W) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also ComputePayloadFraction --------------------------------------------------------------------------
