The purpose of this short course is to provide an overview of the physics and modeling associated with liquid fueled rocket propulsion technology including recent advancements and design level modeling. Attendees will be provided with a thorough introduction to the operating principles, design techniques, and performance parameters of liquid propellant systems. Discussions are complemented by examples and interactive problem sessions. While the presentation is intended to provide a practicing engineer who is uninitiated in the field of solid propellant rocket propulsion with a working knowledge of field, the material provided in this course is of sufficient technical depth to provide the foundation for a technical analysis of solid propellant motors.

Rocket Propulsion III: Liquid Propellant Rocket Propulsion

Course Objectives:
     1. The objective for this course is to provide a fundamental physics-based understanding of the following concepts
     2. Introduction: Understanding the Liquid Propellant Rocket Engine (LPRE) concept
     3. Thrust Chambers: Function and Analysis
     4. Liquid Propellants: Properties and How these properties affect performance
     5. Fundamentals of Propellant Combustion and Nozzle Performance
     6. Ignition Systems Overview
     7. Propellant Feed Systems Concepts and Analysis
     8. Course Summary and Wrap-Up

Target Audience:

This course is intended for practicing engineers in the field of aerospace engineering who are either just entering the field and would like to learn about the techniques for analyzing the performance of solid propellant rocket propulsion or who are interested in expanding their knowledge base in the discipline of aerospace engineering. It is recommended that the student first enroll in the fundamentals of rocket propulsion course if that student is not already familiar with basic rocket propulsion concepts such as thrust, specific impulse, and other performance metrics. The course is likely best suited for Aerospace engineers or Mechanical and Electrical Engineers who are practicing in the aerospace industry.
