Design and Analysis of Turborocket Engine Systems: Zeroth Edition Hardcover – August 23, 2022

The Turborocket Engine is a unique pump-fed rocket engine configuration that can provide high performance in a compact, light-weight package. Despite these attributes, the Turborocket Engine’s basic operation has been largely misapprehended, and thus its advantages have remained largely undiscovered. This book provides a complete description of the Turborocket Engine and its historical origins. But more importantly, it provides a mathematical treatment for understanding basic Turborocket operation and methods for computing the resultant performance of the Turborocket Engine in terms of standard rocket engine performance metrics. Practical aspects of Turborocket Engine design are presented, as well as potential applications that can best take advantage of this unique rocket engine configuration. Detailed example calculations are provided for several Turborocket Engine designs. Read more
