A series of static hybrid rocket firings were done in a laboratory scale motor using paraffin wax fuel with gaseous oxygen and nitrous oxide oxidizers. A five element swirl injector was used to inject the oxidizer at the head end of the motor. A pyrotechnic igniter was used to initiate the combustion. The combustion of fuel grain was carried out for a fixed duration and at different oxidizer in...

Thiocarbohydrazides are an important class of compounds which possess applications in many fields. The chemistry of thiocarbohydrazides has gained increased interest in both synthetic organic chemistry and biological fields and has considerable value in many useful applications such as the assessment process of the three-dimensional ultrastructure examination techniques of interphase nuclei and...

High-density metals such as hafnium and zirconium are of interest to the propellant, explosive, and pyrotechnic industry due to their high oxidation enthalpies; however, these metal fuels suffer from electrostatic discharge (ESD) complications creating safety concerns. Previous attempts to passivate these powders have failed due to abrasion of the protective coatings. Two novel methods for dese...
