200 N Hybrid Rocket Test Bench

 -     C4H10 / N2O pilot flame ignitor by a spark

 - pyrotechnic system based

 - NiCr-Ni based K Thermocouple for Temperature Sensors:  in the pre-combustion and the post-combustion chamber.

 - Three pressure sensors located respectively upstream the fuel injection, in the pre-combustion and in the post-combustion chamber

 - A digital flux meter sensor to measure the N2O mass flow rate

 - Arduino system

 - Desktop PC

 - 1 relief valve in the pre-combustion chamber that opens above 30 atm

 - 5 check valves
