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. 606 $aAutomotive engineering 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aSolar system 606 $aAutomotive Engineering 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics 606 $aSpace Physics 615 0$aAutomotive engineering. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aSolar system. 615 14$aAutomotive Engineering. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aSpace Physics. 676 $a629.4753 700 $aKrishnan$b Subramaniam$01771738 702 $aRaghavan$b Jeenu 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910890188403321 996 $aRocket Propulsion Primer$94264217 997 $aUNINA
