Thrust measurement stand and data for water propulsion - rocket / Nor Hisammuddin Jalil

One of the important parameters that determine the performance of a water rocket is the propulsion system. The availability propeller characteristics such as water and pressure, which changes with advance ratio, are important to the designer so that the optimal and accurate resolution can be made. D...
