Design And Implementation Of An Emission Spectroscopy Diagnostic In A High-Pressure Strand Burner For The Study Of Solid Propell, Jason Arvanetes
Design And Implementation Of An Emission Spectroscopy Diagnostic In A High-Pressure Strand Burner For The Study Of Solid Propell, Jason Arvanetes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The application of emission spectroscopy to monitor combustion products of solid rocket propellant combustion can potentially yield valuable data about reactions occurring within the volatile environment of a strand burner. This information can be applied in the solid rocket propellant industry. The current study details the implementation of a compact spectrometer and fiber optic cable to investigate the visible emission generated from three variations of solid propellants. The grating was blazed for a wavelength range from 200 to 800 nm, and the spectrometer system provides time resolutions on the order of 1 millisecond. One propellant formula contained a fine aluminum …
Design And Fabrication Of A Full-Featured Labscale Hybrid Rocket Engine, Kyle Platt
Design And Fabrication Of A Full-Featured Labscale Hybrid Rocket Engine, Kyle Platt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The design, development, integration and testing of a full-featured, Lab-Scale Hybrid Rocket Engine was not only envisioned to be the chosen method of putting student payloads into space, but to be an invaluable teaching resource. The subject of the present thesis is the analysis, design, development, integration and demonstration of a lab-scale hybrid rocket motor. The overarching goal of this project was to establish a working developmental lab model from which further research can be accomplished. The lab model was specifically designed to use a fuel source that could be studied in normal laboratory conditions. As such, the rocket engine …
