Description
A revision of the standard text on the basic technology, performance and design rationale of rocket propulsion. After discussing fundamentals, such as nozzle thermodynamics, heat transfer, flight performance and chemical reaction analysis, the book continues with treatments of various types of liquid and solid propellants and rocket testing. It brings together the engineering science disciplines necessary for rocket design: thermodynamics, heat transfer, flight mechanics, chemical reactions and materials behavior. SI units and information on computer-aided testing have also been added.
