PPT-Rocket/Aircraft Propulsion*

Black Hole Performance May Vary Rocket engines are on the one hand so simple that you can build and fly your own model rockets very easily On the other hand rocket engines and their fuel systems are so complicated that only three countries have actually ever put people in orbit We will look at rocket engines to understand how they work as well as to understand some of the complexity surrounding them.

In . the conventional solid rocket motor, the propellant is burnt inside a rocket chamber and the hot gases thus generated are accelerated to supersonic condition through a convergent-divergent type nozzle. The heat energy of the gases is converted into kinetic energy inside the nozzle.. Stephen Hevert. Affiliate Professor.
