Solid Rocket Propulsion for
Space Exploration
Analysis of Solid Fuel Rocket Engines for Space
Exploration
This book is intended for aerospace engineering students as well as
professional aerospace engineers who are interested in rocket propulsion
technology as well as solid fuel rocket technology. Solid rocket boosters
are an important part of rocket propulsion technology and this book talks
about the basics of rocket propulsion as well as the use of solid rocket
fuels. Plenty of CFD analysis and thermodynamic analysis is also provided
for the student / engineers. This book is a must for any aerospace engineer
who wants an introductory materials for solid fuel rocket propulsion. Dr.
Ugur Guven and Gurunadh Velidi discuss the various scenarios for solid fuel
rocket propulsion in this book.
