Aerospace scientists and engineers are often called upon to convert the values of physical quantities from one set of units to another.
RocketUnits was created in order to fill that need.
RocketUnits provides units conversion for a number of physical unit categories. Units categories include: Acceleration, Angle, AngVelocity, Acceleration, Angle, AngVelocity, Area, DeltaT, Density, ElementDensity, Energy, Specific Energy, Force, Frequency, Heat Capacity, Heat Transfer Coefficient, Isp, Length, Mass, MassFlow, Molecular Weight, Power, Pressure, Surface Tension, Temperature, Thermal Conductivity, Time, Velocity,
Unit conversion can be performed either with the included GUI, or directly from python by importing RocketUnits.
RocketUnits was largely developed on the three companion projects RocketCEA , RocketIsp and RocketProps.
RocketCEA makes direct calls to the NASA FORTRAN CEA code in “rocket” mode to calculate Isp, Cstar, Tcham etc. and provides tools to help determine useful mixture ratio range, optimum MR and more.
RocketIsp uses a simplified JANNAF approach to calculate delivered specific impulse (Isp) for liquid rocket thrust chambers.
RocketProps calculates the various liquid propellant properties required to analyse a liquid propellant thrust chamber.
