This textbook covers fundamentals of rocket propulsion such as history, classification, qualitative design, quantitative design of internal ballistics and rocket vehicle optimization. It is intended to be used as a textbook by the undergraduate/advanced undergraduate students of aerospace engineering. It further describes the classification of aerospace propulsion, two-phase flows, nozzle contour design, advanced nozzle concepts (plug and expansion deflection nozzles) and materials. It also deals with the optimization of multistage rocket vehicles and their trajectories with reference to the currently operational orbital launch vehicles. This textbook contains numerous end-of-chapter problems to aid in self-learning of the students. It will be highly useful for the aerospace and mechanical engineering students. This can also be used as a reference guide by the scientists and engineers working in the areas of aerospace engineering.
Subramaniam Krishnan received degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Madras (B.E., 1964), the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore (M.E., 1968), and in aerospace engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Ph.D., 1976). He was a research assistant at Gas Turbine Research Establishment, Bangalore, from 1964 to 1966. He joined the Indian Institute of Technology Madras as a lecturer in 1968 and rose to the position of professor in 1987. He retired from IIT Madras in 2002. He taught a wide variety of courses in aerospace propulsion from 1968 to 2013. His research interest lies in solid propulsion: solid rockets, solid fuel ramjet, and hybrid rockets. He has several publications to his credit in these areas. He is an honorary fellow of the High Energy Materials Society of India, a fellow of the Aeronautical Society of India, and an associate fellow of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Dr. Jeenu Raghavan received degrees in chemical engineering from the Calicut University (B.Tech., 1984) and in aerospace engineering from IIT Madras (M.Tech., 1986, and Ph.D., 1992). He served as Senior Project Officer and Research Associate (CSIR Fellowship) at IIT Madras from 1987 to 1992. Later, he did his post-doctoral studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta (1997-1999). After working for a short period of time in Bharath Dynamics Limited, Hyderabad as Assistant Manager, Propulsion, he joined the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram (VSSC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the year 1993 and retired from there in 2022 as the Director of Solid Propulsion and Combustion Research Group. He has more than 35 years of experience in solid rocket propulsion related fields and has several publications to his credit in this area. He got the Team Excellence Award from the Department of Space, ISRO in 2009, the Raghavaiah Memorial Team Award from the High Energy Materials Society of India in 2014, and the GSLV lifetime achievement award in 2021.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
