Thermal stability and kinetic study of blended Beeswax-ethylene vinyl acetate based hybrid rocket fuels

Hybrid rocket fuels are safer and have unique operational and handling features compared to conventional rocket fuels. Here, an attempt to improve the thermal stability and combustion performance of blended fuel Beeswax with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and activated charcoal has been tried. The weight percentage of EVA was varied from 10 to 20% in the formulation and the activated charcoal by 1 to 2%. Thermal stability characteristics of...
