The purpose is to introduce the fundamentals and the basic technology of liquid propellant rockets. Much of the material is derived from other courses on propulsion. The first lecture covers the foundations at the broad brush level. Starting from the functional requirements placed on the device, various types of rocket are examined. The missions for which liquid propellant rockets are the better choice are identified. An ideal gas examination of the essential performance parameters and their variation with basic controllable inputs is presented. The thermodynamics and the fluid mechanics of the reacting flows occurring in rocket combustors and nozzles are considered. The effects of propellant choices and the +/- 5 performance estimates are included.
