Design and optimization of variable thrust hybrid rocket motors for sounding rockets

Science China Technological Sciences, 2011
Besides safety and low-cost, the start/shutdown/restarting and throttling ability are the other two significant advantages of hybrid rocket motors (HRMs) compared with liquid and solid ones. In this study, a two-stage variable thrust and non-toxic 98%HP/HTPB hybrid rocket motor (VTHRM) is designed and applied in a sounding rocket, and the design ...

Vortex combustion in a hybrid rocket motor

open access: yes, 2016
The work is focused on a vortex flow pancake hybrid rocket motor (VFP). This hybrid rocket configuration is characterized by two flat solid fuel disks and a tangential injection between them. The gap between the two flat disks serves as combustion chamber.

Hybrid rocket motor fuel studies

33rd Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 1997
Results from four fuel characterization studies are reported. The first study was a premix (complete fuel except for curative) hold time determination which concluded that a full-scale 600-gal premix could be held for at least 3 weeks without any harmful degradation of the cured final fuel.

Design and Testing of a Hybrid Rocket Motor

47th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit, 2011
This research aims to provide a methodology for the project of labscale hybrid motors. This development begun with the thermal analysis of the fuel grain using the Flynn, Wall and Ozawa method; this provided the simulation entry data to maximize the motor performance.

Peregrine Hybrid Rocket Motor Development

50th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference, 2014
To further develop and demonstrate the applicability of liquefying-fuel hybrid rocket technology to low-cost launch applications, a small team of engineers is developing a medium-scale liquefying-fuel hybrid sounding rocket using storable propellants (paraffin wax and N2O) that will propel a 5 kg payload to the edge of space.

Advanced hybrid rocket motor experiments

Acta Astronautica, 1987
Abstract Results of experiments performed with an advanced, automated measuring system and dealing with combusion of polymethylmethacrylate and polyethylene with oxygen and different mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen are reported. Factors affecting the regression rate of the fuel are the mass flux, the geometry, the pressure level and the presence of ...

Optimal Design of Hybrid Rocket Motors for Microgravity Platform

Journal of Propulsion and Power, 2008
A nested direct/indirect method is used to find the optimal design for a microgravity platform which is based on a hybrid sounding rocket. The direct optimization of the parameters that affect the motor design is coupled with the indirect trajectory optimization to maximize a given mission performance index.
