Allowing a gaseous oxidizer to pass through a porous solid fuel has recently been introduced as a way to increase the burning rate of hybrid rockets. This paper details the results of an experimental and analytical investigation into the regression rate of a porous axial-injection, end-burning hybrid rocket motor to understand the physics behind the fuel regression rate. Testing was conducted using polyethylene as the porous fuel and gaseous oxygen as the oxidizer. Nominal test articles were tested using 100 micron, 50 micron, and 15 micron pore sizes. Pressures tested ranged from atmospheric to 1194 kPa, and oxidizer injection velocities ranged from 35 m/s to 80 m/s. Regression rates were determined using pretest and posttest length measurements of the solid fuel. Experimental results demonstrated that the regression rate of the porous axial-injection, end-burning hybrid was a function of the chamber pressure as opposed to the oxidizer mass flux typical in conventional hybrids. Regression rates ranged from approximately 0.65 mm/s at atmospheric pressure to 7.74 mm/s at 1194 kPa. The analytical model was developed based on a standard ablative model modified to include oxidizer flow through the grain. The heat transfer from the flame was primarily modeled using an empirically determined flame coefficient that included all heat transfer mechanisms in one term. An exploratory flame model based on the Granular Diffusion Flame model used for solid rocket motors was also adapted for comparison with the empirical flame coefficient. The GDF model showed agreement with the experimental results indicating that the GDF model has potential for giving insight into the flame structure in a porous axial-injection, end burning hybrid rocket motor.
