Influence of Boron on the Performance of Solid Fuel Ramjet Propulsion: A Reduced-Order Modeling Approach

ABSTRACT This study investigates the flight performance of a solid-fuel ramjet missile, comparing a conventional hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene propellant against a formulation enriched with 33% boron. A computational framework was developed in Python, coupling NASA Chemical Equilibrium with Applications-based therm...
