Abstract
Solid rocket motors and various solid propellant grain configurations are described. Burning rate and grain design effects on thrust-time tailoring are discussed as well as the sensitivity of the solid propellant to temperature. Analysis of the transient behavior and equilibration of the combustion chamber pressure, the stability of the combustion chamber pressure, and the effects of erosive burning is presented. Solid rocket performance characteristics, dual thrust solid rockets, rocket motor casings, and transient operation are discussed. Rocket motor nozzle heat transfer and ablative and film cooling techniques are described. Methods for optimally sizing a rocket motor are presented. Hybrid rocket motors are introduced and their characteristics and operation are covered.
