Abstract

The key factors of solid propellant rocket motors design are to choose proper combustion chamber pressure and nozzle expansion ratio. The two parameters are analysed in the view of minimum mass. The two feasible engineering application curves were given in which the curve pc=f1(ε), optimum combustion chamber pressure pc versus nozzle expansion ratio ε versus combustion chamber pressure pc resolved by iteration method. Therefore, the optimum choice of combustion chamber pressure and nozzle expansion ratio was obtained.
