Added a new subsection entitled "Velocity of gases exiting the rocket engine nozzle exhaust "

I added a new subsection ported from the WP article "Rocket nozzle" which I originally created when I was a Wikipedian. I slightly revised some of the text to fit into this article and I re-did many of the WP wiki links to be consistent with the pertinent CZ article titles. Milton Beychok 03:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
