Abstract:

The objective of the book is twofold, first to present basic material on solid propellant rockets which can be used for classroom instruction and second to carry the reader to the frontiers of research in a number of specific areas of solid propellant rocketry. Although there is some material which might appropriately be used in undergraduate courses, the instructional value of the book lies primarily at the graduate level. An attempt has been made to enhance the educational utility of the monograph by presenting the more elementary aspects of the subject first, before proceeding to detailed and more advanced treatment of specific areas of research. An attempt has also been made to present the research topics in a pedagogic manner, to aid the graduate student or the practising engineer who is not familiar with the subject material.
