Modern Engineering for Design of Liquid-Propellant Rocket Engines (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics)

From the component design, to the subsystem design, to the engine systems design, engine development and flight-vehicle application, this how-to text bridges the gap between basic physical and design principles and actual rocket-engine design as it's done in industry. More than 470 illustrations and tables should make this book a must-read for advanced students and engineers active in all phases of engine systems design, development and application in industry and in government agencies.
