By Stephen D. Heister,William E. Anderson,Timothee L. Pourpoint,R. Joseph Cassady | Publisher: Cambridge University Press
About the book
A modern pedagogical treatment of the latest industry trends in rocket propulsion, developed from the authors' extensive experience in both industry and academia. Students are guided along a stepbystep journey through modern rocket propulsion, beginning with the historical context and an introduction to toplevel performance measures, and progressing on to indepth discussions of the chemical aspects of fluid flow combustion thermochemistry and chemical equilibrium, solid, liquid, and hybrid rocket propellants, mission requirements, and an overview of electric propulsion. With a wealth of homework problems (and a solutions manual for instructors online), reallife case studies and examples throughout, and an appendix detailing key numerical methods and links to additional online resources, this is a musthave guide for senior and first year graduate students looking to gain a thorough understanding of the topic along with practical tools that can be applied in industry.
