Abstract

This study reviews thermal propulsion systems related to underwater application, covering the conceptual idea, the technology and the mechanism. Some of the salient features of the stored chemical energy propulsion system (SCEPS) technology and the unconventional engines are discussed. While these systems have generated considerable interest in the west, they are still new in India.
