Ignition System for Solid Rocket Motors

Solid Rocket Motors (SRMs) require an efficient ignition system to start its functioning. A separate ignition system, called igniter, is assembled in the rocket motor to achieve the task. Igniters for SRMs are basically of two types, viz., Pyrogen igniters used for

Design of the testing system for solid propellant rocket

This paper describes design technique of solid fuel rocket motor testing system for its thrust measuring capabilities. The design process consists of 2 parts. In first part the mathematic modelling technique will be described for the mechanical section, in second – electrical. This will help to explain versatility and capabilities for coupling of the parametric design process for measurement

rocket

Rocket, any of a type of jet-propulsion device carrying either solid or liquid propellants that provide both the fuel and oxidizer required for combustion.The term is commonly applied to any of various vehicles, including firework skyrockets, guided missiles, and launch vehicles used in spaceflight, driven by any propulsive device that is independent of the atmosphere.

The Space Shuttle SRB was the most powerful solid rocket motor ever flown. Each provided a maximum 14.7 MN (3,300,000 lbf) thrust, roughly double the most powerful single-combustion chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine ever flown, the Rocketdyne F-1.With

How a Rocket Engine Works

How a Rocket Engine Works A rocket engine is not like a conventional engine. A conventional engine ignites fuel which then pushes on some pistons, and it turns a crank. Therefore, it uses rotational energy to turn the wheels of the vehicle. Electric motors also

Solid Propellant

The nozzle design generally follows the same ablative approach as the solid motor but with one caveat. An aluminized solid propellant usually operates in a low-O/F regime where I sp is maximized. In this region, where the combustion gases contain a low concentration of oxidizing species (such as O 2, OH, H 2 O, CO 2 ), graphite nozzles perform well, showing low erosion.
