Editorial Reviews

Product Description
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 help to 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on the subject!, June 7, 2000
By A Customer
The book "Modern Engineering for Design Liquid Propellant Rocket Engines" is undoubtedly the best book on liquid fueled rockets. The information is not just valuable, it is priceless. Few textbooks of any subject go as much into detail as this book. Do NOT question the price. The value of the information given in this book goes way beyond the price tag. If you are interested in learning the aspects of this subject, or want to build your own rocket engine, this book is definitely for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best., February 7, 2006
i have most of the books on rocket engines that are sold today.
i must say that this is the best book about DESIGN of LIQUID ROCKET ENGINES: if you want to design a LRE, this book gives to you a chance. it's QUITE easy to read, taking in consideration that the topic is very complicate. consider that i'm a computer science university student, and i have no problem in understanding it. this book is about DESIGN, LIQUID ROCKET and ENGINES: so if you are interested in general infos about rockets, missile guidance, solid rocket, apollo on moon, illustrated books about missiles and rockets, cold war secrets etc., you are out of the way.i reported this obvious consideration because sometimes "an AMAZONer" buy some engineering book for his 5 years child and, being the son less than a genius, give to the book 1 star because he lost his money OR, since he doesn't read entirely the title of the book, he thinks that the book is something of *erotic*.

this book is an improvement of the huzel's "st-125" NASA's book, one of the first book used to introduce rocket design elements to nasa's workers when no textbooks on this topic were available. if you already have the st-125, probably you'll find "some" informations redundant. i have also the st-125. i know that
you can find this book for less, but i suggest you to buy "modern engineering.." because st-125 is a '71 pubblication,
and its perspective on liquid rockets engines is 35 years old, and 21 years older; in addition, it is a perspective that not consider the progresses of the nineties: after the end of the cold war, american engineers could collect benefits by the disclosing of russian tecnologies, and this changed some trends in aerospace.
remember that if you know little about rockets but you have a scientific background, there are better books for you. try first the sutton's "rocket propulsion elements" or "Rocket and Spacecraft Propulsion : Principles, Practice and New Developments" by Martin (but i think the first of the two is better worth the price).

i think that the only things that can be improved is the exposition of detailed infos about high pressure rocket engines,
that is to say staged combustion cycle rockets. the most powerful (thrust/weight ratio speaking) engines were all closed cycle engines(including space shuttle's SSME,russian moon rocket's nk-33,atlas' rd-180).

i'm waiting (if possible) for a newer edition of this book. i'd buy it for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great liquid rocket engine book, July 13, 2001
By Michal Warzecha (Uniontown, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This is a very well written reference book and is packed full of useful information. I work in liquid propulsion design and I have been able to find very detailed subsystem information. Well worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK as far as it goes, but my goodness...
I got this for one of my kids, who was young, and wanted to know why it was difficult to make rockets.

For this purpose, the book is great. Read more

As already mentioned above....do not question the price! It is really worth every single cent! I am not a LRE-designer nor do I work in any similar branche... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for the Design of LRE's
The book has about everything one needs to know as a liquid rocket engine designer. A must for any propulsion engineer.
