equation:

Some typical values of the exhaust gas velocity v_e for rocket engines burning various propellants are:

* 1,700 to 2,900 m/s (3,800 to 6,500 mph) for liquid monopropellants,
* 2,900 to 4,500 m/s (6,500 to 10,100 mph) for liquid bipropellants,
* 2,100 to 3,200 m/s (4,700 to 7,200 mph) for solid propellants.

As a note of interest, v_e
