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.

Klappentext
Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion
The leading theoretical examination of solid-propellant nonsteady combustion
Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion is the first authoritative and comprehensive monograph on the subject available to researchers and students of the field. This book contains equations governing unsteady combustion and applies them systematically to a wide range of practical problems. 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 of the subject. It is also accompanied by a website which provides solutions to the exercises found in the book.
Co-authored by one of the creators of the Zeldovich Novozhilov Theory the book includes, among others, discussions of:
- Combustion properties of solid propellants
- Fundamentals and mathematical formulation of the Zeldovich Novozhilov (ZN) Theory
- Combustion in steady and unsteady pressure environments
- Combustion beyond stability region
- Acoustic and non-acoustic combustion regimes, including extinction
- Extension of the Theory beyond conventional ZN approximations
Perfect for researchers and practitioners in the aerospace industry and graduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering, this text provides a complete, fundamental, and invaluable resource to all those who work and study in the area.
