Glossary
of Terms and Table of Conversion Factors
Used
In Design of Chemical Propulsion Systems
Compiled
by Russell B. Keller, Jr., NASA Lewis Research Center
The official
NASA guidebook for chemical propulsion design, with definitions from ablation
to zero-g, this valuable reference resource covers all the terms
commonly used in rocket, missile, and spacecraft propulsion design.
Has conversion
factors for converting U.S. customary units (feet, calories, pounds of
thrust, etc) to the International System of Units (SI units; meters, Joules,
Newtons, etc) make it easy to accurately translate back and forth.
Also
has definitions for the symbols and abbreviations used.
This
important text is an outgrowth of the work done by NASA-Lewis Research
Center and its associated contractors in producing the set of Design Criteria
monographs on Chemical Propulsion.
An important
reference book for every rocket scientist, engineer, technician, and experimenter.
We've
reprinted this important NASA reference book directly from a digital file
provided by the Marshall Space Flight Center, which is apparently a third-generation
document. This is the best (clearest, highest resolution) version
of this out-of-print book we have yet found. While easily readable
and fully functional, it's not a first-generation publication.
Hard
to find and now long out-of-print, this new limited edition has been republished
by the Rocket Science Institute. It's printed directly from a NASA
digital document file, with a high-resolution laser printer on high-quality,
bright-white, acid-free paper and quality-bound for years of reference
use. 101 pages,
large and easy-to-read 11" x 8-1/2" size.
