    Having worked with quite a few smaller solid fuel rockets and not being a design engineer, I did observe one design you may consider.
    On the inside of the nozzle, at the base of the convergence, there was a shoulder or lip where a thin round aluminum disc would be placed. This disc had scores in the shape of a cross. The scores were a specific thickness, depending on the rocket.
    My conclusion had always been that this was to prevent F.O.D., of which it does. After speaking with a designer, he explained that the disc would allow the initial ignition pressure in the rocket to build up instantly which accelerated and more evenly ignited the rocket. All this just before the disc splitting at the scores and blowing out the nozzle. This all happens in milliseconds.
    The overall performance increases were significant.

      This isn't needed so much if you use copper thermite for ignition of composites as ignition of the entire grain(s) is instantaneous (measured about 50ms!),but if you aren't, burst disks are definitely useful, especially if you aren't running high chamber pressures (which can lead to start up instabilities and this incurs losses) !

    On expansion ratio: how does one acquire the chamber pressure?
    Since thrust is created by both pressure and mass flow, you have to know the mass flow to get the pressure.
    Thrust formula: F=(Pc-Pa)*A+Ve*dm/dt

    • @TechIngredients

      @wearemilesfromnowhere4630 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Having worked with quite a few smaller rocket motors, I can tell you that the when there is oxidizer in the fuel, the pressures when the nozzles are too small can be significant. I have seen high strength cast iron nozzles either fragment or even turn inside out. Once the designer does the math, it's time to experiment and that's when past experiences help tremendously. Even variations in fuel batches can make a big difference.

    • @TechIngredients
      @TechIngredients  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Pressures above 100,000 psi can be generated and this tends to be self reinforcing with a positive feedback loop. Testing is mandatory.

      There probably is, like where the boundary layer of intermixing oxidiser and fuel in vapour phase becomes so thin that further acceleration becomes impossible as it becomes the rate limiting step... but practically this is impossible to achieve with most compositions, the hardware will fragment well before then

    Is Main Presenter an actual teacher? Because the way he explains things is just exactly spot on perfect for at least my brain. Factual, to the point, no fluff or tangents, very clearly articulated, at just the sweet spot of detail where I always feel like I'm learning a lot and at the very limits of my understanding, but not too complex that I'm getting lost or don't understand (even though I might have thought it'd be way over my head before watching). And it seems to be like this no matter the subject, which really speaks to not only the knowledge this man has, but also the teaching skills he possesses. Hats off to Mr. Presenter.

    Good stuff, as always.
    Our design was a 12 spoke wagon-wheel design (maximize surface area) with polybutadiene+carbon black, pressurized LOx with He. We started it with a pyrophoric TeAl (triethyl aluminum). This gave us features like launch to an altitude shut-off the LOx, coast, and restart the rocket. As I recall it was about 60" diameter and 60' in length. It took two+ forklifts to pull out the spoke forms. This was in the mid-1980s .... which is now used on the Virgin Galactic vehicle.

    Integza should be watching these. He's too obsessed with 3d printing and seems scared of working with any other methods. I personally think 3d printing has gotten stupid with the way people use it for final products. I see value in it for testing and fitment. But the obsession about making actual products from cheap printers has gotten out of hand. I'd never pay someone for a product they're selling if it was 3d printed.

    • @ska042
      @ska042 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      To some degree Integza 3d printing everything is for the entertainment value more so than any engineering reasoning ;)
      There's a core of truth to what you're saying, it's the old "if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" problem (when in reality, you could reach your goals faster and better with a different tool you just hadn't considered). At the same time, there is no rational reason to reject a product _just_ because it contains 3d printed parts. In some cases it's totally legitimate, produces the material properties required and in small-scale production may be more economical than injection molding or other methods.

      3D printing is an easy method for fabricating complex parts, but the systems available at a price that most of us can afford are limited to prototyping a design with limited structural capabilities.

    • @SianaGearz
      @SianaGearz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think Integza is too obsessed with the TH-cam grind first and foremost. He has found a topic that works for him to acquire and maintain the viewership, and he is in this loop where he has to quickly produce 10+ minutes of content in a 3-act-story format for general audiences, with beginning, middle and an end every week, including scripting, "humour", production of sponsor segments and video editing, so he has remarkably little time per project to educate himself, experiment, do the actual work, or even just scour his comment section for helpful insights. He also needs to milk the system by producing fundamentally repetitive content that reuses and iterates upon the same elements that he has found success with. He has found himself in the gears of the heartless TH-cam "influencer" machine which has you do one repetitive thing for a couple years on a schedule and then burns the creator out or burns the audience out and stops providing, but in the meanwhile can be used to build up a little capital. I don't know that that's really a way to live, you might as well be in an industry job which has you treat it as a religion rather than a job, do 50h overtime every week, and where the workflow is SCRUMified to the extent that you cannot have any given task take more than a week, so you resort to putting bandaids on the project week after week reporting on-paper "success" when what the project really calls for is a re-engineering effort to undo the technical debt, but it wouldn't fit into a 1-week work cycle so it cannot get approved.
      As to 3D printed products? Why? I mean quality is one thing, but if someone has a way of achieving it consistently and the product is designed for it... They're not very economical in terms of production time/cost per piece, but at a small scale, nothing is. Not every product needs to target tens of thousands of people. 3D printers themselves are a bit of a special case, at least two major companies use this approach with printed parts, and on the one hand it does make their products substantially more expensive, but on the other, this is how they stay flexible, this is how they learn and refine their products, since they use the same printers that they sell, and they fine-tune their quality and reliability this way. This way rather than producing waste for the purpose of testing, the machines end up producing parts that will be used to build machines for sale.
      Also i have seen a number of companies do 3D printed ductwork in in-ear monitors, the tiny little piece that connects several different drivers (speakers, usually balanced armature type) and acoustic impedances ("filters") to the nozzle. Before this, the ductwork used to be handmade from lengths of tiny little vinyl tubing and pretty unreliable and expensive, it was a whole faff. Now think of it, this is actually a great use. SLA or SLS will spit those tiny pieces out at really good speeds, like your company might be manufacturing a couple hundred of these IEMs a day, so a little farm of a handful of SLA or a single large SLS machine fits the workload, they've got like $20-$150 of hardware inside each IEM, and the printed pieces cost basically nothing, several cents per IEM, couldn't be made in any other way without compromises, since this network of channels cannot necessarily be economically machined or cast like that, they're consistent, it's actually perfect. I'm sure if you think about it, there will be more kinds of products where 3D printed approach makes complete sense, it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
      I'm also working on something, a piece of electronics, that if it succeeds at the technical level, it will need to use an SLA or SLS printed part to replace a very unusual connector shell, and there's pretty much no way around it at the kind of budget and scale that i expect to target. A number of years ago, this means the product would outright not be possible.
