space propulsion

This web site is maintained by Professor Subramaniam Krishnan (S. Krishnan) for sharing knowledge with interested professionals and students in the areas of aerospace propulsion.

Since 1968, Professor Krishnan has been teaching in India and abroad about Thermal Engineering and Aerospace Propulsion courses to Under graduate and Graduate students. His research interest has been mainly in Space Propulsion, more particularly in Solid propulsion (solid rockets, hybrid rockets and solid fuel ramjets). In recent years, however he has been working more on Propulsion Systems that adopt the green propellant, hydrogen peroxide.
