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. 0aAutomotive engineering. 0aAerospace engineering. 0aAstronautics. 0aSolar system.14aAutomotive Engineering.24aAerospace Technology and Astronautics.24aSpace Physics.1 aRaghavan, Jeenu.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981975643808iPrinted edition:z978981975645208iPrinted edition:z978981975646940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-5644-5
