The present lectures cover a few topics from the courses currently given at the California Institute of Technology. The notes consist in a small selection of information from certain areas that are more easily presented in written form than in lectures. Nuclear propulsion, electrical propulsion. and power conversion will be covered only in the lectures. The notes themselves have been collected from material usually employed in the Cal Tech courses. Chapter I, Mechanics of Rocket Propulsion, was taken from unpublished notes of Professor W. D. Rannie which he employs as introductory material in his lectures on rocket propulsion technology. Chapter II, Elementary Theory of the Rocket Nozzle, was adapted from some early notes by Professor H. S. Tsien and augmented by recent material by the author on heterogeneous flow in nozzles. Chapter III, Combustion Thermodynamics and Chemical Propellants contains material from the excellent little book, 'Elements of Chemical Thermodynamics,' by L. K. Nash (Addison-Wesley Publishing Co. ) and detailed material on chemical equilibrium calculations in nozzle flow (including tables) borrowed from the well known book by my colleague, Professor S. S. Penner, 'Chemistry Problems in Jet Propulsion' (Pergamon Press). The course in propulsion chemistry has been given from this book at Cal Tech for many years by Professor Penner. Chapter IV, Solid Propellant Rocket Motors, and Chapter V, Liquid Propellant Rocket Motors, are based on material from 'Jet Propulsion,' edited by H. S. Tsien and a considerable amount of material (including figures) from the extensive book, 'Rocket Propulsion.' by Barrere, Jaumotte, de Veubeke, and Vandenkerckhove (Elsevier Publishing Co.). This book is an appropriate source for the present notes, inasmuch as that book was deeply influenced not only by Professor von Karmm himself but through the training in jet propulsion that Mr. Vandenkerckhove received at Cal Tech.
