  2. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Zwolinski and Wilhoit defined, in 1972, "gross" and "net" values for heats of combustion. In the gross definition the products are the most stable compounds, e.g. H 2 O (l), Br 2 (l), I 2 (s) and H 2 SO 4 (l). In the net definition the products are the gases produced when the compound is burned in an open flame, e.g. H 2 O (g), Br 2 (g), I 2 (g ...

  3. Burn rate (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_rate_(chemistry)

    Burn rate (typically expressed in mm/s or in/s) is the sample length over time at a given pressure and temperature. For solid fuel propellant, the most common method of measuring burn rate is the Crawford Type Strand Burning Rate Bomb System [3] (also known as the Crawford Burner or Strand Burner), as described in MIL-STD-286C. [4]

  4. Hybrid rocket fuel regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Rocket_Fuel_Regression

    The burn area refers to the surface exposed to the heat of the combustion chamber, and it is just as pivotal to the regression of the rocket as the regression rate itself, since the volume flow rate of fuel is usually given by the regression rate multiplied by the burn area. Depending on the complexity of the grain geometry, it can also be ...

    The burn rate of a company is a measure of its negative cash flow in a set period of time, typically a month. Investors, especially venture capitalists, monitor this metric closely to gauge when ...

  6. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    The type of jet engine used to explain the conversion of fuel into thrust is the ramjet.It is simpler than the turbojet which is, in turn, simpler than the turbofan.It is valid to use the ramjet example because the ramjet, turbojet and turbofan core all use the same principle to produce thrust which is to accelerate the air passing through them.

  7. Flame speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_speed

    The flame speed is the measured rate of expansion of the flame front in a combustion reaction. Whereas flame velocity is generally used for a fuel, a related term is explosive velocity, which is the same relationship measured for an explosive. Combustion engineers differentiate between the laminar flame speed and turbulent flame speed. Flame ...

  9. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    It is related to the thrust, or forward force on the rocket by the equation: [11] = ˙, where ˙ is the propellant mass flow rate, which is the rate of decrease of the vehicle's mass. A rocket must carry all its propellant with it, so the mass of the unburned propellant must be accelerated along with the rocket itself.
