<p><b>Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion</b> <p><b>The leading theoretical examination of solid-propellant nonsteady combustion</b> <p><i>Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion</i> 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. <i>Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion</i> 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. <p>Co-authored by one of the creators of the Zeldovich – Novozhilov Theory the book includes, among others, discussions of: <ul> <li>Combustion properties of solid propellants</li> <li>Fundamentals and mathematical formulation of the Zeldovich – Novozhilov (ZN) Theory</li> <li>Combustion in steady and unsteady pressure environments</li> <li>Combustion beyond stability region</li> <li>Acoustic and non-acoustic combustion regimes, including extinction</li> <li>Extension of the Theory beyond conventional ZN approximations</li> </ul> <p>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.
