Questions about specific impulse (Isp), which is a comparative measure of efficiency of rocket, jet engines and used propellants, measured either in seconds of thrust per unit weight of propellants, or effective exhaust velocity (thrust per unit mass of propellants) as a measure of launcher system's specific energy efficiency.

Is ISP all there is to engine efficiency?
Most rocket engines have their efficiency measured by the specific impulse of the engine, which is just how fast the exhaust of the engine is going. Is there another measure of efficiency that's thrus …

Deriving specific impulse from exhaust velocities? [duplicate]
I can't remember where I heard it but I thought that dividing the exhaust velocity by the gravitational pull of a body, it is possible to find the specific impulse of the rocket engine. However, what …
