Thrust Control of Lab-Scale Hybrid Rocket Motor with Wax-Aluminum Fuel and Air as Oxidizer

This article explores the throttling aspect of the hybrid rocket motor through experiments using a lab-scale motor. The lab-scale motor utilizes a wax-Al based fuel and compressed air as the oxidizer. The oxidizer flow rate was modulated using a PID controller to study the closed-loop thrust control...
