Rocket Propulsion Elements

Rocket Propulsion Elements, 9th Edition, is an engineering reference that connects fundamental concepts with practical applications. The text provides interdisciplinary technical coverage across thermodynamics, aerodynamics, flight performance, and propellant chemistry to help readers understand the physics of flight and propulsion chemistry.

Coverage examines liquid, solid, gas, and hybrid propellants alongside the engines they fuel. The text also addresses high-temperature combustion, combustion stability, and the principles underlying chemical and electric propulsion systems.

Intended for students and working engineers, the volume reviews propulsion systems in common use around the world. An instructor companion site is available to support technical instruction.
