Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rocket propulsion is the foundation of every successful launch, orbital mission, planetary exploration program, and deep-space endeavor. Yet many textbooks either focus too narrowly on theoretical equations or overwhelm readers with fragmented technical details that fail to connect engineering principles with real-world aerospace applications.Rocket Propulsion Fundamentals bridges that gap.Designed as a comprehensive, modern, and academically rigorous resource, this textbook provides a complete exploration of rocket propulsion engineering, from fundamental physical principles to the advanced technologies shaping the future of space exploration. Whether you are an aerospace engineering student, researcher, educator, industry professional, or serious space enthusiast, this book delivers the knowledge, analytical tools, and engineering insight needed to understand, evaluate, and design modern propulsion systems.Unlike many traditional references that concentrate primarily on classical rocket engines, this textbook takes a broader and more contemporary approach. It integrates foundational propulsion theory with modern spacecraft applications, reusable launch systems, electric propulsion, advanced computational methods, emerging propulsion technologies, and future space transportation concepts. The result is a resource that not only explains how propulsion systems work, but also demonstrates how they are applied in today's rapidly evolving aerospace industry.Inside this book, you'll explore: - The physics and thermodynamics that govern rocket propulsion- Combustion processes and high-energy propellant systems- Nozzle flow dynamics, thrust generation, and performance optimization- Solid, liquid, hybrid, electric, and advanced propulsion technologies- Turbomachinery, feed systems, cooling methods, and engine operation- Rocket performance analysis and mission planning techniques- Launch vehicle integration, flight dynamics, and spacecraft applications- Reusable launch systems and next-generation space transportation architectures- Deep-space propulsion concepts, nuclear propulsion, and emerging technologies- Advanced materials, additive manufacturing, reliability engineering, and safety considerations- Modern computational tools, simulation methods, and engineering design approachesThis textbook has been carefully structured to provide a logical progression from foundational concepts to advanced applications, making it suitable for both classroom instruction and independent study. Extensive engineering examples, technical explanations, reference appendices, design exercises, and practical insights help transform complex concepts into clear, usable knowledge.What truly distinguishes this book is its commitment to connecting theory with practice. Readers will not only learn the equations and scientific principles behind propulsion systems, but also gain an understanding of the engineering decisions, trade-offs, and design philosophies used by aerospace professionals working on real-world launch vehicles and spacecraft.As humanity enters a new era of commercial spaceflight, reusable rockets, lunar exploration, Mars mission planning, and advanced propulsion research, the demand for engineers and professionals with a strong understanding of propulsion systems has never been greater. This book provides the foundation required to participate confidently in that future.Whether your goal is to master propulsion fundamentals, support academic coursework, conduct research, design aerospace systems, or deepen your understanding of space technology, Rocket Propulsion Fundamentals delivers the knowledge, perspective, and technical depth needed to succeed.Built on engin Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INTEGRATING BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR HEALTHY, HIGH-PERFORMANCE, AND NET-ZERO DESIGNSustainable architecture depends on more than attractive forms and efficient floor plans. High-performance buildings require mechanical and electrical systems that work with the building envelope to reduce energy demand, improve occupant comfort, protect indoor air quality, and support long-term carbon goals.Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Sustainable Architecture provides a clear guide to coordinating building services with passive design, envelope performance, indoor environmental quality, and net-zero infrastructure. Written for students and professionals, it explains how HVAC, lighting, electrical distribution, controls, renewable energy, and architectural decisions influence one another throughout design, construction, commissioning, and operation.Rather than treating mechanical and electrical systems as separate technical additions, this book presents them as essential parts of one integrated design strategy. Readers learn how orientation, insulation, glazing, air tightness, shading, daylight, ventilation, and thermal mass can reduce equipment loads and improve whole-building performance.Inside this comprehensive guide, readers will explore: High-performance building envelopes, including insulation, thermal bridging, glazing, moisture control, air barriers, solar heat gain, shading, and system coordinationEnergy-efficient HVAC design, covering load reduction, ventilation, heat recovery, zoning, equipment selection, electrification, and intelligent controlsIndoor environmental quality (IEQ), including thermal comfort, indoor air quality, humidity, daylight, acoustics, filtration, and occupant wellbeingElectrical power and smart lighting systems, with guidance on efficient distribution, LED lighting, daylight harvesting, occupancy controls, metering, emergency power, and power qualityBuilding automation and performance monitoring, including sensors, control sequences, energy-management systems, fault detection, data analysis, and responsive operationRenewable energy and storage integration, including solar photovoltaic systems, batteries, inverters, microgrids, demand management, and grid-interactive strategiesNet-zero carbon infrastructure, with practical discussions of energy conservation, electrification, operational and embodied carbon, resilience, and life-cycle performanceCommissioning and post-occupancy evaluation, including testing, performance verification, maintenance planning, measurement, and continuous improvementThe book also explains how architects can collaborate effectively with engineers, energy consultants, contractors, commissioning professionals, and facility managers. This integrated approach helps prevent system conflicts, reduce oversizing, control costs, and keep sustainability goals achievable from concept through occupancy.Whether designing a new high-performance building, improving an existing facility, studying environmental systems, or coordinating a multidisciplinary project, readers will find practical guidance for balancing energy performance, occupant needs, constructability, and long-term value.This book is an essential resource for architects, architectural and building-services engineers, sustainability consultants, construction professionals, facility managers, educators, and students.By connecting architectural design with advanced building systems, it equips readers to create buildings that use less energy, provide healthier indoor environments, adapt intelligently to changing conditions, and move confidently toward a resilient net Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
