Features: This book primarily discusses heat transfer and thermal protection issues in solid rocket engines. In terms of overall content arrangement, it highlights professional characteristics and emphasizes engineering calculations and applications. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 includes Chapters 1 to 3, focusing on the fundamental principles and calculations of three types of heat transfer methods. Part 2 includes Chapters 4 to 9, discussing the application of heat transfer theory in solid rocket engines, with a particular emphasis on the heat transfer calculations and thermal protection methods for key heated components such as combustion chambers and nozzles in solid rocket engines. Part 3 consists of Chapters 10 and 11. Chapter 10 primarily addresses the transient and high-intensity characteristics of heat transfer in solid rocket engines, briefly introducing the non-Fourier effect with the example of one-dimensional heat conduction problems. Chapter 11 introduces preliminary knowledge of computational heat transfer. This book can serve as a graduate textbook for rocket engine majors in higher education institutions or as an elective textbook for senior undergraduate students. It can also be referenced by technical personnel engaged in solid rocket design.
