Abstract | The present work performed a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the catalytic ignition and combustion characteristics for a hybrid rocket engine (HRE) using 90% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with a paraffin based fuel as the propellant system. The variation of the H2O2 decomposition temperature used as the analytical premise was monitored by a thermocouple and laser absorption spectroscopy based on water absorption. The effects of preheating, the number of silver mesh layers, and the usage count for the catalytic bed on the H2O2 decomposition characteristics were analyzed. A preheated 60 layer silver catalyst bed provided the best decomposition performance, including the shortest catalytic decomposition delay time and the highest decomposition efficiency. A two dimensional numerical model was built to determine the effect of decomposition efficiency decay on the HRE combustion characteristics. Variations in the combustion temperature, combustion chamber pressure, and product distribution were compared for H2O2 decomposition efficiencies ranging from 70 to 100%. As the decomposition efficiency of H2O2 decreased to 80%, part of the oxidizer was blown out the chamber before participating in the combustion, yielding a significant decline in the combustion performance of the hybrid rocket engine. Static firing tests were also used to determine the catalytic ignition and reignition performance of the HRE. The results showed that the performance of the catalytic bed was stable while the reignition process was rapid without a pressure peak. |
