Nanomaterials in Rocket Propulsion Systems
Nanomaterials in Rocket Propulsion Systems covers the fundamentals of nanomaterials and examines a wide range of innovative applications, presenting the current state-of-the-art in the field. Opening with a chapter on nano-sized energetic materials, the book examines metal nanoparticles-based fuels, ballistic modifiers, stabilizers and catalysts as the components of rocket propellants. Hydrogen storage materials for rocket propulsion based on nanotubes are then discussed, as are nano-porous materials and metal organic frameworks, nano-gelled propellants, nano-composite ablators and ceramic nano-composites. Other applications examined include high thermal conductivity metallic nano-composite nozzle liners, nano-emitters for Coulomb propulsion of space-crafts, and highly thermostable nano-ceramics for rocket motors. The book finishes with coverage of combustion of nano-sized rocket fuels, nano-particles and their combustion in micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), plasma propulsion and nano-scale physics. Users will find this to be a valuable resource for academic and government institutions, professionals, new researchers and graduate students working in the application of nanomaterials in the aerospace industry. - Provides a detailed overview of different types of nanomaterials used in rocket propulsion, highlighting different situations in which different materials are used - Demonstrates the use of new nanomaterial concepts, allowing for an increase in payload capacity or a decrease in launch mass - Explores a range of applications using metal nanopowders, presenting a panorama on cutting-edge, technological developments
Nanotechnology in Propulsion
Nanotechnology in Propulsion explores the groundbreaking potential of nanotechnology to revolutionize propulsion systems across aerospace and automotive sectors. It highlights how manipulating materials at the nanoscale offers pathways to lighter, more efficient, and more powerful technologies. The book argues that nanotechnology isn't just incremental but a significant shift, enabling unprecedented performance and sustainability through nanomaterials' unique properties, such as enhanced catalytic activity and high strength-to-weight ratios. The book examines nano-enhanced fuels, nano-engineered coatings, and system optimization, providing a comprehensive overview. For example, nano-engineered coatings enhance wear resistance and protect against extreme temperatures, while lightweight nano-enhanced fuels can significantly improve fuel consumption. Beginning with the fundamentals of nanotechnology, the book progresses through specific applications, supported by scientific data and case studies, ultimately analyzing the technologies' practical impact and addressing challenges like scalability and safety.
Nanomaterials under Extreme Conditions
