Innovative Methods to Enhance the Combustion Properties of Solid Fuels for Hybrid Rocket Propulsion

Abstract: The low regression rates for hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)-based solid fuels and poor mechanical properties for the alternative paraffin-based liquefying fuels make today hybrid rocket engines far from the outstanding accomplishments of solid motors and liquid engines. In this paper, a survey is conducted of several innovative methods under test to improve solid fuel properties, which include self-disintegration fuel structure (SDFS)/paraffin fuels, paraffin fuels with better mechanical properties, … Show more

“…Typical mechanical properties reinforcement techniques yield a reduction of the entrainment effect due to the augmented viscosity of the melted fuel layer [10][11][12][13][14]19]. Recent efforts proposed innovative reinforcing strategies exerting minor effects on the liquid phase viscosity such as self-disintegrating structures [64], as well as the use of three-dimensional (3D) printed cellular structures [65,66].…”

“…Three review papers appear in the Special Issue; Marquardt and Majdalani [10] revise the Marxman's classical diffusion-limited regression rate model with the purpose of complementing the existing literature, providing a unique combination of detail and brevity that will be appreciated by newcomers entering the field. The development of accurate simulations of reacting flows incorporating the capability of modeling the fuel surface regression poses significant challenges for computational methods, and the article from Di Martino et al [11] is concerned with the application of computational thermo-fluid-dynamics to the simulation of the internal ballistics of rockets burning either standard polymeric or liquefying fuels; finally, Chen et al [12] conducted an excellent survey of several innovative methods under testing to improve the solid fuels' combustion properties, presenting a number of experimental results.…”

“…Seu desempenho termoquímico teórico é próximo ao obtido com o PBLH (HEISTER; WERNIMONT, 2007). Além disso, os polietilenos também são passíveis de aditivação (CHEN;WOLCOTT, 2015WOLCOTT, , 2014MIKOVÁ;LUYT, 2007).…”

“…O PEAD, com sua cristalinidade superior em relação ao PEBD, exibe módulo de elasticidade e limite de resistência à tração superiores, sendo, portanto, um material mais rígido(CANEVAROLO JR., 2006). Dadas as solicitações termomecânicas usualmente presentes no lançamento e/ou no voo de lançadores e mísseis em geral, este aspecto pode ser relevante no processo de seleção do combustível.O PEAD, o PELBD e o PEBD têm sido amplamente estudados para aplicação como suportes estruturais de parafinas macro e microcristalinas no domínio dos materiais de mudança de fase(CHEN;WOLCOTT, 2015WOLCOTT, , 2014LUYT, 2001a;MIKOVÁ;LUYT, 2007;KRUPA, 2002;MOLEFI;KRUPA, 2010; RAJAGANESH, 2013). Estes são materiais capazes de absorver, armazenar e liberar quantidades consideráveis de energia, na forma de calor latente, num intervalo bem definido de mudança de fase(RAJAGANESH, 2013).Seu princípio de funcionamento baseia-se no fato de que a energia térmica pode ser armazenada como calor latente em materiais que sofrem mudanças de fase em temperaturas próximas às de interesse para aplicações específicas (CHEN;WOLCOTT, 2014).Em síntese, a composição da parafina com polímeros proporciona a oportunidade de utilização de materiais de mudança de fase com uma estrutura controlada e estável, contendo eventuais vazamentos do material fundido, bem como, permite a sua moldagem no formato requerido pela aplicação.…”
