SSME Exhaust Gas Temperatures


I was wondering if anyone here happens to know the temperatures related to the SSME's ( or any rocket motor like it ) exhaust just as it passes through the nozzle?

Actually, temperatures in the combustion chamber, nozzle, etc would be beneficial to know as well.

Thanks again.

From the manufacturer - Space Shuttle Main Engine facts

The fuel mixture is rich in H2.
