Prototype Motor Parameters
The following design parameters where selected to begin the process of evaluating paraffin as a potential hybrid motor fuel. We want to design a motor that will be easy to set-up and fire an also be inexpensive to test.
Preliminary motor specifications:
Average thrust: 50 lbs
Burn Time: 15 seconds
O/F: 2.7
Paraffin grain diameter: 2.00"
Paraffin grian length: 5.50"
