Nonsteady Burning and Combustion Stability of Solid Propellants (Progress in Astronautics & Aeronautics)

This book contains the work of several of the most distinguished international scientists in the area of solid-propellant combustion. A full and highly qualified exposure is given of Russian experiments and theories for the first time in an English language publication. Also reported are detailed analyses of intrinsic combustion stability of solid propellants and stability of solid rocket motors or burners.

The book combines state-of-the-art knowledge with a tutorial presentation of the topics, so that it can be used as a textbook for students or reference for engineers and scientists involved in solid-propellant systems for propulsion, gas generation, and safety.
