Abstract: In a hybrid rocket, paraffin-based fuels are characterised by high regression rates and zero chemical explosion potential. However, paraffin wax is a brittle material and exhibits poor mechanical strength. The production of large-scale paraffin motors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mtla.2020.100653
Abstract: Abstract A rational design strategy combining theory and experiment is highly desirable for the development of U-Zr based fuels that are resistant to lanthanide-induced fuel-cladding chemical interaction (FCCI). We performed rapid computational screening of FCCI-mitigating… read more here.
