Abstract

There has been a renewed interest in the use of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer in bipropellant liquid rocket engines as well as in hybrid rocket engines. This is because hydrogen peroxide is a propellant of low toxicity and enhanced versatility. The present paper details the features of the designed engine of l00N thrust and its facility. Also explained is the arrangement of the distillation unit to be used to prepare rocket-grade hydrogen-peroxide propellant. Results of the simulated "cold" tests are presented.
