Slow regression rate of the solid fuel is the main limitation for the use of hybrid rocket
engines in high thrust applications. Paraffin-based fuels tackle this limitation thanks to the …

Human spaceflight, space tourism, and the launch of microsatellites are all expected to grow
in the future. In fact, with the recent increase of the satellite market, almost 1000 smallsats …

Droplet entrainment contributes to excellent regression rates of HTPB/paraffin blended fuels
in hybrid rocket motors, but also leads to more complicated mass transfer mechanisms in …

Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is frequently employed as a key component of
propellant binder in missiles or solid rockets. Understanding its shock response can help us …

Hybrid rocket fuels are safer and have unique operational and handling features compared
to conventional rocket fuels. Here, an attempt to improve the thermal stability and …

The hybrid rocket has several advantages than solid and liquid rockets which uses two
different states of matter that includes solid fuel burned with gas or liquid oxidizer. Beeswax …

Fe-powder and paraffin-based or similar systems are widely used for low-temperature
injection molding. The main attention of research efforts on such compositions is focused on …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the physical, chemical and thermal
characteristics of paraffin-blended fuels to determine their suitability as fuel in hybrid rockets …

The conventional hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) hybrid fuel exhibits a slow
regression rate which hindered their potential applications. Paraffin-based fuels regress …

Waxes and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) are identified as a feasible and
efficient replacement for conventional rocket fuels and are capable of providing good …
