specific impulse: Examples and translations in context

Ion engines provide a much greater specific impulse than chemical rockets, but their thrust is in general too small to be able to launch a rocket from the ground.

Ionenmotoren geven een veel grotere specifieke impuls dan chemische raketten, maar hun stuwkracht is over het algemeen te klein om een raket vanaf de grond te kunnen lanceren.

The escape velocity of the propellant in meters per second is equal to ten times the value of the specific impulse measured in seconds.

De uitstroomsnelheid in meter per seconde is gelijk aan tien maal de waarde van de specifieke impuls in seconden.

Elke vaste "stuwstof" met een theoretische specifieke impuls (onder standaardomstandigheden) van meer dan

For such rockets, the combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen provides the greatest specific impulse, and so the greatest escape velocity for the gases, so it is the most effective.

Voor zulke raketten levert de combinatie van vloeibare waterstof en vloeibare zuurstof de grootste specifieke impuls, dus de grootste uitstroomsnelheid, en is dus het meest effectief.
