Hybrid rocket motor internal ballistic model and oxidizer dopping. Applications.

Abstract

We present our research effort in the field of hybrid rocket motors. A computation model is presented together with results from a numerical algorithm based on the computation model. We present theoretical predictions for several hybrid rocket motors and compare the theoretical predictions with experimental measurements on those hybrid rocket motors. We also present several regression models to be used in hybrid rocket motors and evaluate each of them against experimental data provided by research groups worldwide. First section of the presentation focuses on hybrid rocket motor development.
