This is the first major publication on liquid-rocket combustion devices since 1960, and includes 20 chapters prepared by world-renowned experts. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of liquid-propellant combustion and thrust chamber dynamics, and is incorporated into the volume in a well-organized, cohesive manner. There are contributions from nine different countries - China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and the United States.- Data and information appearing in this book are for informational purposes only.
