| Course content |
|
The subject deals with the individual types of propellants, theory of burning of their various types, their properties and applications, technology of production, and their testing. Also presented are general requirements for chemical stability, storability and environmental problems connected with their production and use. Students are further introduced to: the propellant propulsion theory with respect to the various groups of the propellants, problems of stability, storability and environmental issues connected with their production and use.
