The detailed syllabus for Rockets and Missiles B.Tech (R13) eighthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To give exposure on important topics like rocket motion, rocket aerodynamics and staging & control of rockets to students to enrich their knowledge in the area of missile flight.
UNIT I : CLASSIFICATION OF ROCKETS AND MISSILES [9 hours]
Various methods of classification of missiles and rockets – Basic aerodynamic characteristics of surface to surface, surface to air, air to surface and air to air missiles – Examples of various Indian space launch vehicles and missiles – Current status of Indian rocket programme with respect to international scenario
UNIT II: AERODYNAMICS OF ROCKETS AND MISSILES [10 hours]
Airframe components of rockets and missiles – forces acting on a missile while passing through atmosphere – classification of missiles – slender body aerodynamics – method of describing forces and moments – lift force and lateral moment –lateral aerodynamic damping moment – longitudinal moment – drag estimation – upwash and downwash in missile bodies – rocket dispersion.
UNIT III : ROCKET MOTION IN FREE SPACE AND GRAVITATIONAL FIELD [10 hours]
One dimensional and two-dimensional rocket motions in free space and homogeneous gravitational fields – description of vertical, inclined and gravity turn trajectories – determination of range and altitude – simple approximations to determine burn out velocity and altitude – estimation of culmination time and altitude.
