liquid propellants of the future. Solid fuel/propellants are used in forms called grains. A grain is any individual particle of fuel/propellant regardless

A solid-propellant rocket or solid rocket is a rocket with a rocket engine that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid-fuel

Smokeless powder is a type of propellant used in firearms and artillery that produces less smoke and less fouling when fired compared to black powder.

tubes, balls, or flakes known as single-base propellants. The size and shape of the propellant grains can increase or decrease the relative surface area

A hybrid-propellant rocket is a rocket with a rocket motor that uses rocket propellants in two different phases: one solid and the other either gas or

Rocket propellant is used as a reaction mass ejected from a rocket engine to produce thrust. The energy required can either come from the propellants themselves

sweetener in food, produces a propellant with a slower burn rate and is less brittle when made into propellant grains. Sugars with a double bonded oxygen

Reloadable composite-propellant motors are also available. These are commercially produced motors requiring the user to assemble propellant grains, o-rings and

In solid rocket propellants and some translucent smokeless powders, the primary method of heat transfer into the propellant grain from the combustion

pulverizing solids into very small pieces, firearm propellants are typically manufactured in grains of geometric shapes to physically control rate of gas
