Designing Amateur Rocket Motors (Engines) - Jacobs Rocketry
Design the rocket first, its dimensions, weight and the altitude and/or velocity you want it to achieve. From that you can calculate the total impulse needed for your rocket and from the dimensions of the rocket, figure out the maximum dimensions your motor can have.
How to design, build and test small liquid-fuel rocket engines
The purpose of this publication is to provide the serious amateur builder with design information, fabrication procedures, test equipment requirements, and safe operating procedures for small liquid-fuel rocket engines. A liquid rocket engine employs liquid propellants which are fed under pressure from tanks in to a combustion chamber.
Solid rocket motor design requires repetitive estimates and calculations where rough approximations are made and by repeated estimates and calculations, a refined motor is achieved that delivers the required performance. By this iterative process, an acceptable motor design is …

2019年11月27日 · SRMs are different from other types of chemical rocket propulsion (i.e., liquid propellant rocket motors and hybrid propellant rocket motors). The propellant of SRM is stored in solid form, in which solid fuels and solid oxidizers are held together by a solid binder, forming the so-called composite propellant [ 1 – 3 ].
This book concentrates on the subject of solid rocket propulsion engineering, focusing on manufacturing, performance and common issues observed in the industry and the operation of solid rocket motors. The aim is to present an introduction to …
As a special rocket motor design, a two stage motor with two pro-pellant grains in a single chamber, is described and compared with practical firing test results. 1. Introduction. Rocket projectiles are used to carry a pay-load from a launch site to a specified location or altitude within a specified time.
