HYBRID ROCKET RESEARCH

The laboratory uses a 200 N hybrid rocket test bench, which is equipped with a C4H10/N₂O pilot flame ignition system, a pyrotechnic ignition subsystem, and NiCr‑Ni K‑type thermocouples for pre- and post-combustion temperature measurements. Three pressure sensors monitor the combustion chamber, while a digital mass flow meter measures the oxidizer flow rate. Data acquisition is handled by an Arduino system connected to a desktop PC for control and logging. Safety is ensured with a relief valve that opens at pressures above 30 atm and five check valves for proper flow management.
