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.

Analysis of The Molar Volume as A Function of Pressure Close to The Melting Point in Ammonia Solid III
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2009-06-01)
This study gives the calculation of the molar volume as a function of pressure for constant temperatures in ammonia solid III near the melting point. Using the value of the critical exponent gamma extracted from the experimental,data for the isothermal compressibility kappa(T). The molar volume calculated here decreases as the pressure increases on approach to the melting point. This critical behaviour can describe the observed behaviour of the molar volume near the melting point, as obtained experimentally...
Experimental study of solid propellant combustion instability
Çekiç, Ayça; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
In this study, experimental investigation of solid propellant combustion instability using an end burning T-Burner setup is performed. For this purpose, a T-Burner setup is designed, analyzed, constructed and tested with all its sub components. T-Burner setup constructed is mainly composed of a base part, a control panel and the T-Burner itself. Combustion chamber, pressure stabilization mechanism, pressurization system, measurement instruments and data acquisition systems form the T-Burner. Pressure stabil...
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...
Analysis of single phase convective heat transfer in microchannels with variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity
Gözükara, Arif Cem; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
In this study simultaneously developing single phase, laminar and incompressible flow in a micro gap between parallel plates is numerically analyzed by including the effect of variation in thermal conductivity and viscosity with temperature. Variable property solutions for continuity, momentum and energy equations are performed in a coupled manner, for air as a Newtonian fluid. In these analyses the rarefaction effect, which is important for the slip flow regime, is taken into account by imposing slip veloc...
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...
