Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1935
THOUGH rockets have aroused a good deal of public interest during the last few years and a great number of very interesting books and articles have been published about the theoretical side of this new science, little is generally known about the experimental progress that has been made, especially in Germany and the U.S.A.

Rocket Propulsion with Sparklers
The Physics Teacher, 2006A fairly well-known demonstration using a sparkler is the following: Bend the wire where you hold it at 90° to the active part, and insert it into the chuck of a drill. Darken the room, ignite the sparkler, and let the drill rotate slowly. A shower of sparks flies off tangent to the circular motion, much like sparks from a rotating whetstone.

1968
Nuclear rocket engines may be divided into two general classes based on the type of reactor used, i.e., solid-core systems and fluid-core systems. The latter may be further subdivided into liquid-, gas-, and plasma-core engines. Although fluid-core systems have been studied by a number of investigators during the past ten years, no major development ...

Thermodynamics and rocket propulsion
Journal of Chemical Education, 1969This paper outlines the application of the principles of chemical thermodynamics to a comparison of the merit of one rocket propellant (fuel plus oxidizer) with that of another fuel-oxidizer pair for liquid-fueled rocket motors.

Principles of Rocket Propulsion
Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1933A great deal of interest has recently been taken in the subject of rocket propulsion, undoubtedly in the main due to the rather extravagant hopes, raised by Professor Goddard (I) in 1919, that a projectile might actually be sent into interplanetary space.

Rocket Propulsion and Guidance
2019The technology of how a rocket moves, how it knows its orientation and how it controls the orientation are the subjects of this chapter. We will then take a slight diversion to consider the application of that control to the fine art of docking a spacecraft.

Propulsive Efficiency of Rockets
1962Publisher Summary This chapter examines the meaning and properties of rocket propulsive efficiency, for both constant and variable exhaust speed. Propulsive efficiency can be defined as a point function, that is, it depends on the instantaneous operating conditions.
