What is it about?
This study measured the pressure around the nozzle and the thrust generated by the nozzle. The discharge coefficient had no dependency on the background pressure, but the specific impulse efficiency had. The decreasing trend in the discharge coefficient was different in each throat Reynolds number condition.
