JNTUK B.Tech Propellant Technology gives you detail information of Propellant Technology R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Course Objective
The main objective of the course is to know about the family of aviation fuels. The subject encompasses several varieties of liquid and solid propellants and their burning capabilities. The properties of cryogenic fuels will also be considered as a first pace. Propellant testing and performance evaluation methods such as Micro-merograph – Strand burner tests impulse bomb are clearly described.
UNIT – I : Liquid Fuels: Properties and tests for petroleum products – Motor gasoline – Aviation gasoline – Aviation turbine fuels – Requirements of aviation fuels of kerosene type and high flash point type – Requirements for fuel oils.
UNIT – II : Solid Propellants: Single base propellants – Double base propellants – Composite propellants – CMBD propellants – Metallized composite propellants. Introduction to different fuels and oxidizers of composite propellants – Brief introduction to composite theory of composite and double base propellants.
UNIT – III : Liquid Propellants:Various liquid propellants and their properties – Monopropellants and bipropellant system – concept of ullage – Ignition studies of liquid propellants. Propellant loading tolerances – inventory – Volume versus mass loading – Loading measurement and control – Outage control.
UNIT –IV : Cryogenic Propellants – I : Introduction to cryogenic propellants – Liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen and liquid nitrogen and liquid helium and their properties.
