Liquid Rocket Thrust Chambers: Aspects of Modeling, Analysis, and Design (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics)

This is the first major publication on liquid-rocket combustion devices since 1960. A total of 26 chapters prepared by world-renowned experts in their subject areas are included. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of liquid-propellant combustion and thrust chamber dynamics, and is incorporated into the volume in a well-organized, cohesive manner. There are contributions from nine different countries - China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and the United States THE liquid propellant combustion device has always presented design and development risks because of the required harsh operating thermal environment, usually at high pressures, and because of the secondary goals of small packaging, light weight, high performance efficiency, and low cost.
