Publisher's Synopsis
Space is the Final Frontier and for humanity it represents growth and exploration and advancement. Especially with the advent of commercial space travel, the concept of space travel has become a very important concept, and this makes rocket propulsion become an important focus point. While there are many different rocket propulsion technologies that are being developed, the classical rocket propulsion with liquid propellants is more robust and reliable. Hence, majority of rocket launches still use liquid propellants for rocket propulsion. This book first explains the concept of rocket propulsion and then focuses on liquid rocket propellants and presents a case study of a hydrogen propelled rocket using Computational Fluid Dynamics. This book is ideal for undergraduate aerospace engineering students and for engineers who are interested in understanding rocket propulsion.
