    Why is maximum turbojet thrust at nozzle exit pressure equal to ambient pressure?

    Hello, Im wondering if an analytical proof exists that shows why maximum thrust in an ideal turbojet is obtained when the nozzle exit pressure is expanded to the ambient pressure. As in the equation.. F = mdot*(Ue-Ua) + Ae*(Pe-Pa) my intuition tells me that we'll have to take a...
