Best-selling classic text covering all major aspects of rocket propulsion, now updated to cover the latest industry trends Building on the success of the previous editions, the Tenth Edition of Rocket Propulsion Elements offers a thorough introduction to the basic principles of rocket propulsion, a description of the various components of rocket propulsion systems, and an understanding of how rocket propulsion is applied to flight vehicles. The strength of the book lies in its delivery of both theory and practical applications, covering rocket propulsion for guided missiles, space flight, and satellite flight clearly and comprehensively. This Tenth Edition includes the latest advances in the field, such as improvements in materials, systems design, applications, propellants such as chemical propellants, manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing, rocket-stage recovery and reuse, and new types of launch vehicles. Older system types that have fallen out of use are replaced with updated examples of systems representative of those used in the industry today. New problems are introduced in many chapters, and the book is accompanied by an online gas dynamics and two-stage flight vehicle calculator. Rocket Propulsion Elements includes information on: Liquid, solid, and hybrid chemical propulsion and electric propulsion concepts, illustrated using detailed examplesNozzle theory and thermodynamic relations, covering isentropic flow, nozzle configurations including cone- and bell-shaped nozzles, and nozzle alignmentFlight performance, covering launch vehicles and satellite systems, basic relations of motion, space flight maneuvers, and flight stabilityLiquid propellants, covering liquid oxidizers, fuels, and monopropellants as well as safety and environmental concernsThrust chambers, propellant feed systems, and turbomachinery, covering materials, fabrication, and heat transfer analysisSolid propellant fundamentals, properties of energetic materials, combustion stability, and construction of solid propellant rocket motors Rocket Propulsion Elements is an excellent learning resource for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in the fields of mechanical and aerospace engineering taking courses related to rocket propulsion, spacecraft propulsion, or advanced space propulsion. The book is also useful for practicing engineers and scientists in aerospace related industries and research and development firms.…
