THERMODYNAMIC AND BALLISTIC DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS OF SOLID-PROPELLANT ROCKET ENGINES,

Abstract : In this book, on the basis of materials published in the Soviet and foreign press, there are expounded thermo-gas-dynamic principles of designing of rocket engines, engineering methods of calculation of processes of heat exchange, principles of the theory of burning of solid fuels and calculation of the indicated pressure curve in the combustion chamber of the engine. In it there is given basic information about solid rocket propellants applied in solid-propellant rocket engines (SPRE). There is considered regulation of thrust in SPRE in magnitude and direction, and also a general method of ballistic designing of solid-fuel rockets. (Author)
