Analytical Study of Sugar and Paraffin/Potassium Perchlorate as Solid Rocket Propellant
2022
Overview
Nowadays, space exploration and sending satellites for different causes are more in demand. Current work is on Solid Rocket Propellant (SRP) which is used for boosters at the time of launch, correcting the satellite orbit with the help of thrusters and in missiles. Current work is to develop an easily available propellant, low cost, eco-friendly and simple to mold without compromising performance. An analytical study of the SRP parameters such as characteristic velocity, specific impulse, thrust at fixed O/F ratio is carried out. This paper proposed fuel as paraffin (C50H102) with sugar (C12H22O11) and oxidizer as potassium perchlorate (KCLO4). Thermal insulation is not used in the middle of the propellant and the outer casing because the heat does not sustain for long period for a small-scale rocket model. The specific impulse achieved with this SRP is 201.7 for an O/F ratio of 4.
