Chemical ablation and mechanical erosion of hybrid rocket nozzles can cause loss of nozzle
thermal protection material, resulting thrust reduction. In this paper, the chemical ablation …

A small-scale plasma ablation facility was employed to test the four-directional
carbon/carbon (4D C/C) composites under high enthalpy multi-phase jet condition for …

In order to enhance energy characteristics of propellants in hybrid rocket motors, aluminum
particles are added into the solid fuel. However, these particles may lead to nozzle …

To improve the ignition and combustion performance of aluminum, complementary metal is
introduced into it to form binary alloy like Al− Mg, Al− Ti, Al− Zr and Al− Li. This paper mainly …

This article emphasizes the design and development process of a two-stage rocket. The
rocket named Into the Black II (ITBII) is a second-generation rocket at University of …

The erosion of rocket-nozzle ablative thermal protection materials during the solid-rocket-
motor burning time needs to be accounted for to get reliable performance predictions …

In the present work, we discuss the employment of a computational fluid dynamics approach
to evaluate the specific impulse of solid rocket motors. Particular care is focused on two …

Ablative materials are commonly used to protect the nozzle housing and to provide the
internal contour to expand the exhaust gases in solid rocket motors. However …

Based on the serious issue of the significant ablation (erosion) difference of nozzle throat in
a solid rocket motor (SRM) during its operation on the ground and in the atmosphere, a …

In gas-steam ejection power systems, the Al2O3 particles in combustion products can cause
severe erosion on the downstream elbow pipe. To calculate the particle erosion, a modelling …
