Aerospace Engineering/Mechanical Engineering
The definitive text on rocket propulsion-now completely revised to
reflect rapid advancements in the field
For more than fifty years, this seminal text has been regarded as the
single most authoritative sourcebook on rocket propulsion technology. More
comprehensive and coherently organized than any other book on the subject,
Rocket Propulsion Elements guides readers evenhandedly through the complex
factors that shape propulsion, with both theory and practical design considerations.
With more than a third of the text and illustrations either completely
new or extensively revised, this latest edition includes current information
on engine structures, nozzle theory, gas properties, thrust chambers, launch
vehicles, and more. With a detailed table of contents breaking down each
chapter into subsections-as well as an expanded index of key words-the
Seventh Edition efficiently steers readers quickly to the information they
need. Other highlights include:
* Separate chapters on liquid, solid, and hybrid propulsion systems
and a new chapter on thrust chambers including the new aerospike nozzle
* Comprehensive coverage of rocket propulsion technology, with applications
to space flight, satellite flight, and guided and unguided missiles
* Problem-solving examples and exercises relevant to actual design
situations
* More than 340 illustrations, including photographs, tables, and graphs
* Coherent, up-to-date chapter on electrical propulsion balancing fundamentals
with practical aspects and applications
For professional engineers in the aerospace and defense industries
as well as undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and aerospace
engineering, this time-honored resource is indispensable for its scope
of coverage and utility.
