Rocket Propellant Handbook

Systeme Solaire is very proud to introduce a publication that we consider one of the best reference tools ever written on the properties and characteristics of liquid, solid and gaseous rocket propellants!! 

THE ROCKET PROPELLANT HANDBOOK

Long out of print and now exclusive to Systeme Solaire, this 354 page book (8.5" x 11" bound) is the most  detailed  publication ever written concerning the properties, handling requirements, toxicity issues, chemical characteristics and material compatibility issues of liquid, solid and gaseous rocket propellants. Systeme Solaire has long recognized the value of this publication. It is the only publication of its kind ever written and provides incredible depth in terms of practical information needed on various kinds of rocket propellants. In addition to information on production, availability and cost, there are detailed charts concerning the physical properties of the substances including; molecular weight, freezing and boiling points, density, vapor pressure, heat of fusion, heat of vaporization, heat capacity, heat of combustion, thermal conductivity, critical pressure, critical temperature and much, much more.

The first chapter (Fundamentals of Rocket Propellants) is 35 pages. It provides detailed calculations and practical theory on how to use the data stated in the book so that you can determine thrust and heat output from virtually any combination of propellants you choose. The calculations are written in such a way as to make the interpretation of the data as easy as
possible. If you have purchased text books on rocket propulsion, they are often written in great detail and not very practical for a novice rocket designer. The first chapter summarizes the most important points needed for the design of an engine in only 35 pages. It summarizes the most important details that you will need! In fact, the design of the SS67B-3 rocket used
principles derived only from the first 35 pages of this book! It’s extremely well written with simple interpretation of data. The remaining 319 pages contain data of the following propellants;

Aluminum, Ammonia, Beryllium, Boron and Boron compounds, Fluorine and related compounds, Hydrazine and hydrazine hydrate, Hydrogen, Hydrogen Peroxide, Lithium and Lithium Hydroxide, Mixed Acid, Inorganic nitrates, Nitric Acid, Nitrogen Oxide, Oxygen and Ozone, Perchlorates, Water, Alcohols and Ethers, Amines, Aromatic Hydrocarbons, metal organic compounds, nitroparaffins,organic nitrates, petroleum fractions, polymers, saturated hydrocarbons, unstaturated hydrocarbons, Organic propellants, pressurizing gases. More than 100 propellants!

This will be one of the most important reference tools you will ever purchase in the field of liquid and solid rocketry. An
incredible reference and design tool for your library!

This publication is only available by Systeme Solaire and you won’t find it anywhere else!!!
