ISBN: 1563477033 ISBN-13: 9781563477034 Publisher: AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast OUR PRICE: $113.95 Product Type: Hardcover Published: March 2007 Annotation: Fundamentals of Hybrid Rocket Combustion and Propulsion is the first text to offer a comprehensive treatment of hybrid rockets. The book editors have pooled together some of the most respected minds in the field, each providing their very special insight and expertise to the text. The content is therefore as up-to-date as it is broad. Each chapter offers an expert account of every aspect of hybrid rocket propulsion, including fundamental aspects of hybrid combustion, numerical and theoretical approaches, and various applications. All chapters are enhanced with more than 25 to 35 graphical elements--including tables, figures and photographs--making for an easy and informative read. Chapter topics include: an introduction to basic features of hybrid rockets; solid-fuel regression rate and pyrolysis phenomena; numerical and analytical approaches to investigating hybrid rocket combustion and fuel regression behavior; combustion instability; specialized fuels and oxidizers; various aspects of practical applications of hybrid motors; and a survey of alternative geometry hybrid motors. In general, this is a must-have resource for anyone currently working in or studying rocket propulsion. |
