Analysis of grain burnback and international flow in solid propellant rocket motors in 3-dimensions
Yıldırım, Cengizhan; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, Initial Value Problem of Level-set Method is applied to solid propellant combustion to find the grain burnback. For the performance prediction of the rocket motor, 0-D, 1-D or 3-D flow models are used depending on the type of thre grain configuration.
The Effects of geometric design parameters on the flow behavior of a dual pulse solid rocket motor during secondary firing
Ertuğrul, Suat Erdem; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
The ability of a propulsion system is very crucial for the capability of a missile or a rocket system. Unlike liquid propellant rocket motors, the only control mechanism of the thrust value is the propellant geometry in solid propellant rocket motors. When the operation of solid propellant rocket motor has started, it cannot be stopped anymore. For this main reason the advance of dual pulse motor technology has started. The aim of this study is to investigate the geometrical effects of design parameters on ...
Application of ultrasonic burning rate measurement method on closed bombs
Mumcu, Berkan; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Arkun, Uğur; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013)
In this thesis study, detailed information about solid rocket motors and ultrasonic burning rate measurement method is given. An experimental setup is prepared for applying the ultrasonic burning rate measurement method. Before performing the burning tests, some pre-tests are performed for affirming the ultrasonic sensor and obtaining some experimental coefficients. Two different types of propellants, which do not include aluminum, are produced for the burning tests. The first type of the propellants has tw...
Ultrasonic measurement of solid propellant burning rates in closed bombs and subscale motors
Atak, Özen; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
In the scope of this thesis, applications of ultrasonic measurement method on closed bombs and test motors were investigated with various aluminized and nonaluminized propellants with the main target of evaluation of burning rates. Detailed comparison between conventional methods for solid propellant burning rate measurements such as strand burner, firing of subscale test motors and ultrasonic measurement was performed. Burning rate evaluation of eight propellant batches were determined by thirty three clos...
Investigating the dominant factors regarding ignition transient in the design procedure of the nozzle of a pyrogen igniter
Yeşilyurt, Yavuz; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
In a standard solid rocket motor (SRM) system, the propellant of the SRM is generally ignited by a pyrotechnic device (which is much smaller in size compared to SRM itself). However, grand systems like solid propellant Space Propulsion Systems need more mass flow rate in a very short time duration to be ignited, which is not easy task for a pyrotechnic igniter. The solution for this issue is utilizing pyrogen igniter in the SRM system, which is both a small-scale SRM and an igniter. Here ignition transient ...
