THERMODYNAMIC AND BALLISTIC PRINCIPLES FOR THE DESIGN OF SOLID-PROPELLANT ROCKET ENGINES (SELECTED CHAPTERS)

This book, on the basis of materials published in the domestic and foreign press, presents the thermogasodynamics principles of the design of engines, the engineering methods of calculating heat exchange processes, the principles of solid propellant combustion, and the calculation of the indicator curve of pressure in the engine combustion chamber. The book gives basic information on solid propellants used in solid rocket engines. Thrust regulation in solid rocket engines and the ballistic principles of solid rocket engines are examined. The book is intended for students in higher technical education institutes and for engineers-technicians specializing in solid fuel rocket engines. (Author) Edited trans. of mono.
