Abstract:The use of the Potassium Nitrate as an oxidizer in solid rocket propellants has been common in recent years for experimental research in solid rocket propulsion systems. This chemical is used as a compound of black powder and explosives, but in the last 30 years, it has been studied for applications in semiprofessional rocket propellant, implemented by Universities in research and academic projects. The Potassium Nitrate/Dextrose propellant is also known as Candy propellant and presents some advantages compare… Show more
