Course Objectives		The objective is to give aerospace engineering students a firm understanding of rocket propulsion, the assumptions behind it, and the resulting limitations and applications.
Course Description		CONTENT: Classification, Definition and Fundamentals, Nozzle Theory and Thermodynamic Relations, Flight Performance, Chemical Rocket Propellant Performance Analysis, Liquid Propellant Rocket Engine Fundamentals, Solid Propellant Rocket Fundamentals, Electric Propulsion
Course Outcomes		Ability to understand the general aspects of theory and applications of rocket propulsion and to solve simple problems associated with the application of rocket propulsion. Gain an understanding of the application of rocket propulsion to spacecraft design and development in terms of choosing the proper rocket engine geometry and parameters for required design goals and investigating the impact of different rocket engine parameters on vehicle performance.
Pre-requisite(s)		UZB362E Compressible Aerodynamics
Required Facilities		Students should have had an introductory course dealing with the fundamentals of compressible flow such as thermodynamic concepts, isentropic flow in a variable-area duct, Prandtl-Meyer flow and shock waves.
Other		Worksheets or some programming may be needed when solving the chemical reactions in combustion process.
