P-10 (C10H16) is one of cyclic, high-energy-density fuels being used in aircrafts. This single component fuel takes the advantage of increased energy storage available through its strained cyclic geometry. In recent years, the quality of petroleum feedstocks used by refineries has decreased. Examination of fuels refined by different processes has indicated that significantly higher peroxide concentrations exist in fuels which have been severely hydrotreated. Hydroperoxide concentration has been found to be a factor in fuel instability. Presently, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to investigate the mechanisms of oxidation of JP-10 through hydroperoxidation. The total electronic energies of JP-10, its related radicals and hydroperoxides produced from JP-10 have been calculated. Their thermodynamic stabilities have been discussed. The most feasible "C center" that would be oxidized through hydroperoxidation has been determined. It has been found that the hydroperoxides may decompose to different products having less total electronic energies. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

An experimental and numerical investigation of spray atomization in liquid-propellant rocket engines Gülmez, Senem; Kahveci, Harika Senem; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-9-10) Since the liquid rocket engines have been widely used in various flight applications, improving the efficiency and stability of those engines have become important. To achieve efficient combustion in the chamber, the injector must be carefully designed and characterized well. Although impinging jet injectors are widely used in several systems, the previous researches focused on mainly the characterization of like-doublets, thus, there is still a lack of understanding on the atomization of the other types of...
A Trigonometric Approach to a Limiting Law on Detonation Velocity Türker, Burhan Lemi (2012-01-01) Detonation velocity is an important characteristics of explosive compounds. Presently, to get some insight about the detonation velocity, a novel trigonometric model has been suggested first in 2-dimensional form and then extended to 3-dimension. In the 2D-form the detonation velocity is considered to be a function of the total energy and a newly defined "angle of detonation", Q, of an explosive molecule. The angle of detonation velocity is also shown to be a nonlinear function of the total energy. In the 3...
Determining service life and ageing characteristics of composite solid propellants by their chemical properties Kösa, Yasemin; Üner, Deniz; Kesik Mancar, Melis; Department of Chemical Engineering (2022-2) Solid composite propellants are widely used in rocket systems due to their extended manageability and practicality. Service life determination issue of these energetic materials is an extremely important subject as performance and operation safety of rockets may greatly be affected by ageing of propellant. In the literature, service life determination of composite propellants is commonly based on mechanical properties such as stress and strain parameters. In this study, direct monitoring of chemical alterat...
Development of an iterative method for liquid-propellant combustion chamber instability analysis Cengiz, Kenan; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) Controlling unsteady combustion induced gas flow fluctuations and the resultant motor vibrations is a very significant step in rocket motor design. It occurs when the unsteady heat release due to combustion happens to feed the acoustic oscillations of the closed duct forming a feed-back system. The resultant vibrations concerned may even lead to total failure of the rocket system unless analysed and tested thoroughly. This thesis aims developing a linear numerical analysis method for the growth rate of inst...
Experimental and numerical investigation of a jet vane of thrust vector control system Söğütcü, Burak.; Perçin, Mustafa; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) Thrust vectoring is generally used in tactical missile systems when attitude control with conventional control systems is inadequate. One of the most widely used thrust vectoring method is to employ jet vanes in the divergent section of the rocket motor nozzle to have the desired thrust vectoring. In the present study, the flow over the jet vane of a thrust vector control system is investigated using both numerical and experimental techniques. Three dimensional, unsteady and viscous flow over the jet vane i...
