| description | In this article, we undertake a concise review of several milestone developments in classical regression rate models of hybrid rocket motors. After a brief description of the physical processes entailed in hybrid rocket combustion, Marxman’s diffusion-limited theory is re-constructed and discussed. Considerations beyond the scope of basic convection-driven models, which address disparate forms of the blowing correction, variable fluid properties, and pressure and radiation effects, are also given. Finally, a selection of kinetically-limited models is presented, with the aim of comparing the characteristics of several competing theories that become applicable under particular circumstances. |
