Two papers on Solid Propellants by Steven F. Son Research Group (Purdue University)

March 1, 2024

Two more contributes from Purdue University are now listed on our Energetic Materials Literature page.

They stand as a reference for topics that have been deeply investigated in recent years.

“Combustion of micron-aluminum and hydrogen peroxide propellants”, 2013. Kinetic v. Diffusion controlled Combustion. This paper frames this topic for good. By Chris Zaseck, now at BLUE ORIGIN, Prof. Steve Son, Prof. Timothee Pourpoint.

“Characterization of an Aluminum-Lithium Alloy based composite Propellant at Elevated pressures”, 2018.
Aluminum-Lithium: hot topic, if you know you know. This was a 2018 Master thesis by Gabriel Diez, now at BLUE ORIGIN.

Professor Son’s team is intensively training and spreading talent in the Rocket Engines Industry.

Its End Users are willing to push the limits, both in performance and in safety, toxicity domains. We at VALIMET are proud that our powders are studied for these high purposes.

These steppingstone-works are recommended to any researcher and propellants manufacturer.
