An Interactive Computer Code for Preliminary Design of Solid Propellant Rocket Motors.

Abstract

An interactive computer code for the preliminary design of solid propellant rocket motors ('SPRMD') was successfully developed and its use was demonstrated through a design example. 'SPRMD' was written in FORTRAN for use on an IBM PC/AT. It combined several existing codes ('MICROPEP', 'GRAINS', 'ROCKET', etc.) and used the performance loss estimation methods suggested by the AGARD Propulsion and Energetics Panel for aluminized propellants. Keywords: Solid propellant rocket motor, Design.
