The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

Краткое описание

The performance parameters of solid propellants comprised of V-ALEX nanoaluminum powders and water were investigated by conducting laboratory scale rocket motor static firing experiments. Static firing experiments were conducted for two propellant compositions: V-ALEX based propellants with d50 = 60 nm, and a bimodal aluminum composition. Full grain configuration and center perforated grain configuration were tested with varying grain lengths and nozzle throat diameters. It was found that center perforated grains resulted in higher pressure and thrust values than full grain configurations, where an increase in grain length and a decrease in throat diameter yielded higher specific impulse values, as expected. Pure V-ALEX propellants demonstrated higher specific impulse and characteristic velocities than bimodal aluminum compositions with ~ 146 s and ~ 1046 m/s for the pure 100% nano V-ALEX composition, versus ~ 103 s and ~ 1005 m/s for the bimodal composition. The residual mass retained inside the rocket motor after each experiment ranged between 20% and 32%, a significant amount of unejected mass, which lowered the actual performance parameters farther from theoretical values. Experiments conducted with increased water content (Φ<1), although having lower propellant densities, produced higher gravimetric and volumetric specific impulses due to the water acting as an additional working fluid accelerated through the nozzle.
