Experimental Investigation of a Swirling-Oxidizer-Flow-Type Hybrid Rocket Engine Using Low-Melting-Point Thermoplastic Fuel and Oxygen

Experimental Investigation of a Swirling-Oxidizer-Flow-Type Hybrid Rocket Engine Using Low-Melting-Point Thermoplastic Fuel and Oxygen

Hybrid rockets are safe and inexpensive; however, boundary-layer combustion poses a problem in achieving a fuel regression rate equivalent to that of solid propellants. The fundamental combustion conditions, such as the fuel regression rate of LT421, a paraffin-based low-melting-point thermoplastic...
