Abstract

A design of experiments was conducted to explore the regression rate performance of aluminized hybrid rocket fuels in gaseous oxygen. Mass flux, pressure, diameter, and aluminum content were varied independently in a 2-level, full factorial, 16-run experiment design. The least important 4 tests were run first so that any adjustments could be made as the device became better characterized with this setup and these propellants. This resulted in an effective set of data over orthogonal parameter spaces that led to a model depending on the mass flux, the diameter, and the aluminum loading, while showing pressure to be of no effect.
