Composite propellant combustion represents a critical area of research, combining the complexities of chemical kinetics, fluid dynamics, and material science to understand and predict the performance ...

For dual-mode rocket engines to be successful, a propellant must function in both combustion and electric propulsion systems. Researchers have now used a salt-based propellant that had already been ...
