RESEARCH ON SOLID PROPELLANTS
We are investigating different fuels with metals and metal oxidises for Aerospace applications.
The performance characteristics of these solid fuels is by conducting by using thermogravimetric, Differential scanning calorimeter analyses, bomb calorimetry, mass spectroscopy, mechanical testing and ballistic fire testing.
The material decomposition rate and the autoignition temperatures were analysed to better understand the regression rate.
TG/DTG curves represent the various steps of MgB2 oxidation.
FTIR spectra of S1-S5 fuel samples.
The X-ray diffraction patterns for as-received pure B4C, PTFE, and milled B4C-PTFE composite powders.
SEM images of
(a) pure B4C,
(b) enlarged image of area A
(c) Pure PTFE
SEM images of fracture (a) P-CB2 tensile sample, (b) P-MgB2.
SEM images of post-combustion residues of MgB2 (a) unburnt MgB2, (b) MgB2 heated at 1133 K, (c) MgB2 heated at 1343 K, (d) MgB2 heated at 1603 K, (e) magnified view of the image (e), (f) EDS scan of image (e), and (g) TEM images of MgBx oxide layer.
X-ray diffraction patterns of as-received Al, CeO2 particles, and ball milled CeO2 - Al binary composite.
XRD pattern of the post-combustion residue of MgB2 (a) 1133 K, (b) 1343 K and (c) 1603 K.
The research is Jointly carried out with other other partner universities in India, Belgium and Italy
