JNTUK B.Tech Rockets and Missiles gives you detail information of Rockets and Missiles R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Course Objective
The main objective of the subject is to introduce the importance of rockets and missiles with their plan of action and major field of application. The fuels used in the rockets and missiles and their properties and performance estimated through two-dimensional rocket motion in vacuum. The aerodynamic aspects of rockets and missiles while passing through atmosphere is calculated. Multistage rockets its materials were discussed.
UNIT-I : Solid Propellant Rocket Systems : Ignition system in rockets-Types of igniters-Igniter design considerations- Combustion system of solid rockets.
Liquid Propellant Rocket Systems : Design consideration of liquid rocket combustion chamber, injector, and propellant feed lines, valves, propellant tank outlet and helium pressurized and turbine feed systems- Propellant slosh – Propellant hammer- Geysering effect in cryogenic rocket engines.
UNIT-II : Aerodynamics Of Rockets and Missiles :Airframe components of rockets and missiles- Forces acting on a missile while passing through atmosphere- Classification of missiles- Method of describing aerodynamic forces and moments-Lateral aerodynamic moment- Lateral damp in moment and longitudinal moment of a rocket-Lift and drag forces-Drag estimation- Body up wash and downwash in missiles-Rocket dispersion.
UNIT-III : Two-Dimensional Rocket Motion In Vacuum :Equations of motion-Rocket Motion in free space (Tsiokovsky’s equation, Rocket Parameters, Burnout range)-Rocket Motion in a homogeneous gravitational field (Vertical flight, Constant Pitch angle, Gravity turns)
UNIT-IV : Multi-Stage Rocket : Nomenclature of the multi-stage rocket-Ideal Velocity of the multi-stage rocket-Vertical ascent in a homogeneous gravitational field and in vacuum (Burnout velocity- Culmination altitude-Vertical ascent of a two-stage rocket)
UNIT-V : Attitude Control Of Rockets And Missiles : Rocket thrust vector control – Methods of thrust vector control-Thrust magnitude control, Thrust Termination Separation Systems For Rockets And Missiles Stage separation dynamics-Separation techniques
UNIT-VI : Materials For Rockets And Missiles : Criteria for Selection of materials for rockets and missiles-Choice of materials at cryogenic temperatures, extremely high temperatures – Requirement of materials for thermal protection and pressure vessels.
