For more than fifty years, this seminal text has been regarded as the most authoritative sourcebook on rocket propulsion technology. More comprehensive and coherently organized than any other book on the subject, Rocket Propulsion Element guides readers evenhandedly through the complex factor 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 subsection-as well as an expanded index of keywords-the Seventh Edition efficiently steers readers quickly to the information they need. Other highlights includes ¢ Separate chapters on liquid, solid, and hybrid propulsion system and a new chapter on thrust chambers including the new aerospike nazzle ¢ Comprehensive coverage of rocket propulsion technology, with application to space flight, stallite flight, and guided unguided missile ¢ Problem-solving example and exercises relevant to actual design situations ¢ More than 340 illustrations, including photographys, 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
