ASME Standards and Certification Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion

by Boris V. Novozhilov and Vasily B. Novozhilov Co-published by Wiley and ASME Press The PDF eBook edition will be available on The ASME Digital Collection (https://asmedigitalc ollection.asme.org/e books) Print-book edition is available on Wiley.com. Despite significant developments and widespread theoretical and practical interest in the area of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion for the last fifty years, a comprehensive and authoritative text on the subject has not been available. Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion fills this gap by summarizing theoretical approaches to the problem within the framework of the Zeldovich-Novozhilov (ZN-) theory. This book contains equations governing unsteady combustion and applies them systematically to a wide range of problems of practical interest. Theory conclusions are validated, as much as possible, against available experimental data. Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion provides an accurate up-to-date account and perspectives on the subject and is also accompanied by a website hosting solutions to problems in the book. 2020 352 pp. Hardcover ISBN-13: 9781119525707 $140 (list) / $112 (member price)
