Study on Thermal Degradation Characteristics and Regression Rate Measurement of Paraffin-Based Fuel
Energies, 2015 Paraffin fuel has been found to have a regression rate that is higher than conventional HTPB (hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene) fuel and, thus, presents itself as an ideal energy source for a hybrid rocket engine.

Solid-Fuel Regression Rate Modeling for Hybrid Rockets
Journal of Propulsion and Power, 2013 The regression rate of the solid fuel is a primary parameter in the performance analysis for a hybrid rocket. Many studies in the past few years have theoretically claimed, or experimentally shown, a dependence of the regression rate on the chamber total pressure. Such behavior is generally traced back to the presence of oxygen below the flame zone and
