Using the Impulse Method to Determine High-Pressure Dynamic Burning Rate of Solid Propellants

Aerospace, 2023
A new method for determining the burning rate of a solid propellant, called the Impulse Method, is proposed in this paper. It is based on the proportional relationship between the impulse generated and the mass of the burned propellant. The pressure–time

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Cryogenic propellant management in space: open challenges and perspectives

npj Microgravity
This paper presents open challenges and perspectives of propellant management for crewed deep space exploration. The most promising propellants are liquid hydrogen and liquid methane, together with liquid oxygen as an oxidizer. These fluids remain liquid

Solid propellant rocket motor [PDF]

, 1973
The characteristics of a solid propellant rocket engine with a controlled rate of thrust buildup to a desired thrust level are discussed. The engine uses a regressive burning controlled flow solid propellant igniter and a progressive burning main solid ...

Microwave plasma enhancement of multiphase flames: On-demand control of solid propellant burning rate

Combustion and Flame, 2019
This effort explores the microwave-supported plasma enhancement of an aluminized, ammonium perchlorate composite solid propellant flame. The technique is enabled through novel alkali metal doping, which provides increased levels of ionization and allows ...

Enhancing Corrosion Resistance and Mechanical Strength of 3D‐Printed Iron Polylactic Acid for Marine Applications via Laser Surface Texturing

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Laser surface texturing significantly improves the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of 3D‐printed iron polylactic acid (Ir‐PLA) for marine applications. Optimal laser parameters reduce corrosion by 80% and enhance tensile strength by 25% and ductility by 15%.

Solid propellant rocket motor and method of making same [PDF]

, 1977
A method is described for making a solid propellant rocket motor having a specific concavity formed within the fuel charge. A mandrel with an aperature wider than that of the casing is inserted within the motor casing and a solidifiable propellant cast ...

Numerical simulation of radiation in high altitude solid propellant rocket plumes

Acta Astronautica, 2019
Models and computational schemes are presented to simulate the flow field and radiation in solid propellant rocket plumes at high altitude. Different models are developed to calculate plume radiation induced by both the gas and the dispersed phase of ...

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.
