Solid-Fuel Regression Rate Modeling for Hybrid Rockets

open access: yesJournal 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

Combustion Characteristics of a Swirl-Radial-Injection Composite Fuel Grain with Applications in Hybrid Rockets

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
The combustion characteristics of a swirl-radial-injection composite fuel grain were experimentally and numerically investigated. This composite grain permits swirl-radial oxidizer injection based on three hollow helical blades, each having a constant ...

Spread and burning behavior of continuous spill fires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Spill fire experiments with continuous discharge on a fireproof glass sheet were conducted to improve the understanding of spill fire spread and burning. Ethanol was used as the fuel and the discharge rate was varied from 2.8 mL/s to 7.6 mL/s.

Visualization and Emission Spectra of Flames in Combustion Chamber of Swirling-Oxidizer-Flow-Type Hybrid Rocket Engines

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2011
In order to clarify flame behavior in the combustion chamber of swirling-oxidizer-flow-type hybrid rocket engines, a small hybrid rocket engine with a large quartz glass window was fabricated to observe the inside of the combustion chamber from the front

Experimental Investigation on Combustion Characteristics of Hybrid Rocket Fuels with Multi-Angle Diverging Injector

open access: yesInternational Journal of Turbomachinery, Propulsion and Power, 2020
Injection pattern of the oxidizer injected into the combustion chamber is a significant factor in evaluating the performance of a hybrid rocket. In the hybrid rocket combustion process, oxidizer flows over the solid fuel grain surface, leading to a ...

Study on Thermal Degradation Characteristics and Regression Rate Measurement of Paraffin-Based Fuel

open access: yesEnergies, 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.

Additively manufactured aluminium nested composite hybrid rocket fuel grains with breathable blades

open access: yesVirtual and Physical Prototyping, 2023
Hybrid rocket engines suffer from the restricted mechanical properties and low regression rates of current polymeric fuel grains. We propose a three-dimensional printed aluminium (Al) nested composite fuel grain with millimetre-scale lattice pores ...
