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.Automotive engineeringAerospace engineeringAstronauticsSolar systemAutomotive EngineeringAerospace Technology and AstronauticsSpace PhysicsAutomotive engineering.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Solar system.Automotive Engineering.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Space Physics.629.4753Krishnan Subramaniam1771738Raghavan JeenuMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910890188403321Rocket Propulsion Primer4264217UNINA
