4. Conclusions
Here, experiments were conducted with waxas fuel, which is acombination of 30% paraffin wax and 70% of micro cry stalline wax and gaseous oxygen as oxidizer.
Attempt was made to determine the regression rate using combustion chamber pressure. The following conclusions can be drawn from the above studies
1. An algorithm was developed to determine the regres- sion rate of the hybrid fuel based on combustion chamber pressure.
2. The results obtained were compared favorably with the results (regression rate and O/F ratio) obtained using the weight loss method
3. The robustness of the algorithm developed was demon- strated by using a pressure time data reported in the literature and obtaining the regression rate for the fuel. Even these results were compared favorably with the results obtained using the weight loss method reported in the literature.
