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

This paper describes a combined analysis performed in pure waxes and paraffin-based mixtures that can be used as solid fuels in hybrid rocket engines. Density measurements of pure waxes were performed using a dilatometer. An experimental facility was set up and, after preliminary measurements and calibration, a repeatable procedure was implemented. The implemented instrumentation setup allowed the measure of density in softening and melting intervals. Mechanical uniaxial tensile tests were performed according to Standard ISO 527-1 on pure macro paraffin and microcrystalline wax and on these waxes doped with stearic acid and graphite; elastic modulus, elongation and maximum stress were calculated. Data indicate that ductile rupture is achievable even on pure tested macro paraffin. Moreover, microcrystalline wax was mixed with a synthetic wax characterized by a higher nominal melting temperature in order to improve the softening point up to higher temperatures without compromising regression rate values. Thermal, rheological, viscosimetric, and ballistic experiments were performed on this new fuel formulation. This new formulation is promising for propulsion applications in wide temperature ranges.
