This course offers the practicing engineer a comprehensive summary understanding of the basic physics of expanding gas (mostly chemical) rockets. The course is focused on the mechanics of thrust production using the physics of the gas expansion process and includes the development of the nomenclature which is used to describe rocket propulsion performance. This course is geared entirely toward performance-based analysis of the chemical and cold gas rocket. While the presentation is intended to provide a practicing engineer who is uninitiated in the field of 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 an expanding gas rocket. Introduction of Rocket Propulsion 1.

The objective for this course is to provide a fundamental physics-based understanding of the following concepts:
     1. Understanding Nozzle Flow and How to Model Nozzle Flow for Performance Calculations
     2. Thrust:
     3. How is thrust Generated by Expanding Gas
     4. How to Model Thrust Compactly: The Thrust Equation
     5. Define and Explain Performance Parameters
     6. Effective Exhaust Velocity
     7. Total Impulse
     8. Specific Impulse
     9. Mass Ratio
     10. Characteristic Velocity
     11. Thrust Coefficient
     12. Summary of Performance
     13. Basic Dynamics of a Rocket Propelled Device: The Rocket Equation
     14. Staging: Why is it so important?
