Research abstract
Metacomp Technologies demonstrated in Phase I a preliminary capability to model thermal decomposition of rocket fuels. The ability to model bulk reaction in liquid fuels and fuel mixtures was developed. It can help simulate fuel flow through complex flow passages and is coupled to a conjugate heat transfer prediction capability that makes realistic fuel decomposition simulations possible. In Phase II we propose to add/augment this capability towards building a numerical test rig for testing thermal properties of fuels and designing regenerative cooling systems.
