Abstract:

A modular computer program named SPPMEF has been developed which is intended for purposes of predicting internal ballistic performances of solid propellant rocket motors. The program consists of the following modules: TCPSP (Calculation of thermo-chemical properties of solid propellants), NOZZLE (Dimensioning of nozzle and estimation of losses in rocket motors), GEOM (This module consists of two parts: a part for dimensioning of the propellant grain and a part for regression of burning surface) and ROCKET (This module provides prediction of an average delivered performance, as well as mass flow, pressure, thrust and impulse as functions of burning time). The program is verified with experimental results obtained from standard ballistic rocket test motors and experimental rocket motors. Analysis of results has shown that the established model enables high accuracy in prediction of solid propellant rocket motors features in cases where influence of combustion gases flow on burning rate is not significant.
