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.
