Download or read book Hybrid Propulsion System for an Advanced Rocket powered Target Missile written by Richard A. Jones and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A demonstration program has been completed to determine the feasibility of a low-cost hybrid propulsion system for an advanced rocket-powered target vehicle. During a 21-month program a flightweight hybrid propulsion system was designed, fabricated, and successfully tested in numerous static firings at ambient conditions, temperature extremes of -65 F to +165 F and at altitude conditions in the AFRPL altitude facility. The final system design demonstrated step-thrust operation over an 8:1 thrust range which was provided on-command from boost thrust to sustain thrust. The sustain thrust level is selected prior to system firing by setting a flow control valve which provides 'dial-a-thrust' flexibility. The final phase of the program involved flight tests with a target vehicle airframe which demonstrated the hybrid propulsion system capability to provide command step-thrust operation, powered flight times approaching 5 min, and reliable operation following aircraft launch at 49,000 ft, Mach 1.5.

Book excerpt: The feasibility of using an air-augmented hybrid rocket for a target missile propulsion system is currently being investigated. The results of the phase I mission study and preliminary system design efforts have shown that an air-augmented hybrid propulsion system is capable of providing a minimum of 5-min range time on station from sea level to 50,000 ft at Mach numbers up to 3.1. Parametric study results have defined an optimum propulsion system capable of supresonic cruise in excess of 25 min at 50,000-ft altitude. The results of various tradeoff studies have shown the effects of air-to-propellant ratio, fuel generator O/F ratio, fuel generator pressure, ramburner base pressure, combustion efficiency, ramburner Mach numbers, and air inlet effects. A baseline design configuration has been selected, and off-design performance characteristics have been determined. The phase II fuel formulation development effort has resulted in the successful characterization of a low-cost, high heating value solid fuel that may be used with MON-25 or IRFNA liquid oxidizers. Fuel formulation selection was based on the results obtained by a series of fuel generator screening tests using fuel formulation candidates selected from a fuel performance summary which was prepared specifically for this application. Activities during phase III will include full-scale gas generator and direct-connect tests and a final preliminary design effort. (Author).

Download or read book Certification Tests of a Hybrid Propulsion System for the Sandpiper Target Missile written by Franklin B Mead (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-house exploratory development program was accomplished as part of an inter-laboratory team effort to demonstrate the feasibility of hybrid propulsion for the Sandpiper high-performance target missile. The objectives of this program were to: (1) conduct off-design tests of a flight type (heavyweight) Hybrid thrust chamber assembly (TCA); (2) conduct flight certification tests on flight weight propulsion systems delivered under a concurrent AFRPL contract; and (3) provide propulsion system field servicing and engineering support during subsequent flight tests of the propulsion system. Thirty heavyweight TCA tests were conducted, and TCA component operating characteristics, TCA component durability, effects of metal fuel grain additives on combustion, effects of fuel grain temperature on combustion, effects of IRFNA oxidizer substitution, and TCA altitude performance were evaluated. MON- 25 oxidizer and 90% Plexiglas 10% magnesium metal fuel were the propulsion system propellants. Eight flight weight propulsion systems were tested over simulated mission duty cycles after being subjected to environmental extremes of temperature ( -65 F to 165 F) and humidity.

Download or read book Advances in Hybrid Rocket Technology and Related Analysis Methodologies written by Carmine Carmicino and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an amazing collection of technical papers dealing with hybrid rockets. Once perceived as a niche technology, for about a decade, hybrid rockets have enjoyed renewed interest from both the propulsion technical community and industry. Hybrid motors can be used in practically all applications where a rocket is employed, but there are certain cases where they present a superior fit, such as sounding rockets, tactical missile systems, launch boosters and the emerging field of commercial space transportation. The novel space tourism business, indeed, will benefit from their safety and lower recurrent development costs. The subjects addressed in the book include the cutting edge technology employed to push forward this relatively new propulsion concept, spanning systems to improve fuel regression rate, control of the mixture ratio to optimize performance, computational fluid dynamics applied to the simulation of the internal ballistics, and some other novel system applications.

Download or read book Applied Rocket Propulsion written by Roy James Hartfield, Jr. and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Rocket Propulsion provides a thorough, practical treatment of the engineering principles used in the analysis and design of rocket propulsion devices. Whilst the emphasis is on chemical propulsion, 3 chapters are devoted to the new technologies of electric propulsion. The physical principles are applied using derivations as appropriate, examples, and suggested problems; where possible, the physics of rocket propulsion are established in detail from first principles. Fundamental concepts based on the conservation equations are examined with rigor, building up to and including a complete performance analysis. There is no comprehensive professional level book currently available that describes the technical details at a level sufficient to enable the engineering design of a complete rocket propulsion system. Based on industry-focussed short courses taught by the author at the Missile and Space Intelligence Center, Huntsville, AL; the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL; the CIA, Washington, DC; and the University of Kansas short course program on the topics of Solid Propellant Rocket Propulsion, and Liquid Propellant Rocket Propulsion, Applied Rocket Propulsion addresses this need.
