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

ABSTRACT

In order to obtain high regression rates, a new energetic particle embedded paraffin-based fuel (double-base propellant particles blended with paraffin binder) was designed. During combustion, the settled particles were disaggregated due to melting of the paraffin binder and were detached from the burning surface due to oxidant flow blowing; this self-disintegration process is beneficial in promoting the regression rate. The combustion test results show that the regression and mass burning rates of all the formulations were raised and increased with the mass percentage of double-base propellant particles. Moreover, more particles causes more splatter. The average regression rates of formulations blended with 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% particles in mass were increased by 30%, 38%, 47%, and 59%, respectively, in relation to pure paraffin. The results of interrupted-burning experiments demonstrated that energetic particle embedded paraffin-based fuels can stop combustion by closing the oxygen injection valve and this is suitable to the on/off capability of hybrid rockets.
