SSME Exhaust Gas Temperatures

FiggyOO

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.

the temperature in the combustion chamber reaches 3,300 °C (6,000 °F)

From the manufacturer - Space Shuttle Main Engine facts

The fuel mixture is rich in H₂.
