Abstract

The current research is focused on understanding the propulsive parameters of hybrid rocket motors. A comparative study is prepared from various research papers. The fuels paraffin wax, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with added additives (Al/Mg) were combined with two oxidizers, liquid oxygen (LOX), nitrous oxide (N2O). The propulsive parameters examined were the combustion efficiency, combustion or adiabatic flame temperature, characteristics velocity and regression rate. The propellant pair paraffin-N2O provided the highest performance for all parameters studied. This study provides an advantageous propellant option for future rocket propulsion based on a comparative investigation
