THIS HANDBOOK DESCRIBES THE THEORY AND APPLICATION OF QUANTITATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PREDICTING ROCKET PLUME RADIATION. The work has primarily been in the area of the shortwave infrared (SWIR) because rocket exhaust gases are typically at temperatures on the order of 2000 to 2500 K, for which the Planck blackbody spectral distribution peaks in the SWIR. Another reason for this is that IR sensor technology is highly developed in the SWIR. In addition, the SWIR is dominated by vibration-rotation molecular emission bands of major species in the plumes.

This chapter contains methods and procedures for determining plume induced based flowfields and heating environments. State-of-the-art techniques for determining base flow conditions are presented for missiles and launch vehicles with a single propulsive engine as well as a variety of multiple base configurations. The methodology spans the complete spectrum of external flow conditions from the launch phase through powered flight at supersonic and hypersonic conditions, and includes plume backflow impingement from motors operated at near vacuum conditions. Propulsion engines utilizing liquid and solid propellants are considered. (Author).

The JANNAF Rocket Exhaust Plume Technology Handbook was prepared with the objectives of bringing into one document the major principles, formulae, and facts concerning exhaust plume technology. The handbook is being published in loose leaf form so that chapters dealing with the various aspects of plume technology can be incorporated as they are completed and approved for publication. The handbook is intended for the use of workers in the field of rocket exhaust plume technology. It is not meant to be an extensive state-of-the-art review but rather to be a document which stresses the solution to common everyday plume problems.

This book, a translation of the French title Technologie des Propergols Solides, offers otherwise unavailable information on the subject of solid propellants and their use in rocket propulsion. The fundamentals of rocket propulsion are developed in chapter one and detailed descriptions of concepts are covered in the following chapters. Specific design methods and the theoretical physics underlying them are presented, and finally the industrial production of the propellant itself is explained. The material used in the book has been collected from different countries, as the development of this field has occurred separately due to the classified nature of the subject. Thus the reader not only has an overall picture of solid rocket propulsion technology but a comprehensive view of its different developmental permutations worldwide.
