Rocket Motor Simulation: Propellant Properties Tab

The Propellant Properties input tab is shown in the following figure. Every value except the Ambient Temperature was already set. These values all came from the NIOSH-AA-2 section of the Rocket Grain Reference book which were retrieved during the Rocket Motor Sizing section of this tutorial. The only value which we had to enter here was the 70 degrees F.

Below the screen capture all of the inputs are fully defined.

The following input categories for Propellant Properties are shown:

Under the Physical Properties category on the left hand side of the input tab are the following propellant characteristics:

On the right hand side of the Propellant Properties input tab are the parameters which determine the burn rate, pressure, etc. of the propellant grain. These inputs are:
