This article introduces two predictive algorithms for the performance of solid propellant rocket motor. The emphasis is on the introduction of Time-Space Algorithm. The authors proposed a general two-dimensional grain calculation procedure in order to conduct the grain calculations. Therefore, the predictive algorithms for performance introduced by this article show generality. A comprehensive computer program for the aforementioned method has been written and applied to calculating the performance of three different solid rocket motors. The calculated results are consistent with those derived from experimental data.

The purpose of this book is to discuss, at the graduate level, the methods of performance prediction for chemical rocket propulsion. A pedagogical presentation of such methods has been unavailable thus far and this text, based upon lectures, fills this gap. The first part contains the energy-minimization to calculate the propellant-combustion composition and the subsequent computation of rocket performance. While incremental analysis is for high performance solid motors, equilibrium-pressure analysis is for low performance ones. Both are detailed in the book's second part for the prediction of ignition and tail-off transients, and equilibrium operation. Computer codes, adopting the incremental analysis along with erosive burning effect, are included. The material is encouraged to be used and presented at lectures. Senior undergraduate and graduate students in universities, as well as practicing engineers and scientists in rocket industries, form the readership.

A flexible, modular, fully automated, solid rocket motor performance prediction program has been developed. The program, which has been given the acronym SPP is based on six pre-existing computer codes. These codes have been integrated and modified, as required. To supplement the theory, where necessary, and to increase the flexibility of the program, a number of existing and newly developed semi-empirical correlations were incorporated into the program. The program has a general three-dimensional grain design capability, coupled to a one-dimensional ballistics analysis. The deviations from ideal performance are computed as a series of independent efficiencies.

Determination of the grain geometry is an important and critical step in the design of solid propellant rocket motors. Because, the performance of the rocket is greatly effect by the burning surface area of the solid propellant. The performance prediction of the solid rocket motor can be achieved easily if the burn back steps of the grain are known. In this study, grain burn back analysis for 3-D star grain geometries was investigated. The method used was solid modeling (ANSYS(r) - DM, PRO-E and GAMBIT) of the propellant grain for predefined intervals of burn back. In this method, the initial grain geometry was modeled parametrically using ANSYS software. For every burn step, the parameters were adapted and the new grain geometry was modeled, for analysis three cases of grain geometries was considered during the combustion. By analyzing these geometries, burn area change of the grain geometry was obtained. Using this data and internal ballistic parameters, the performance of the solid propellant rocket motor in terms of motor pressure was achieved.
