High specific impulse high gas temperature and/or low molecular mass.
For minimum variation in thrust (or chamber pressure), the pressure or burning rate exponent and the temperature coefficient should be small.
Simple, reproducible, safe, low-cost, controllable, low-hazard manufacturing.
High density allowing a small-volume motor.
Low absorption of moisture, which often cause chemical deterioration.
Non-toxic exhaust gases.

Grain Manufacture:
Extrusion: Ingredients are mechanically mixed and pushed through a die under high pressure. Limit to the grain size.
Casting: Ingredients are mechanically mixed, cast and cured (solidified). Large sizes can be made.

Burning Rates– The Burn Rate increases as both the pressure
and temperature rise.
– Classification by variation in burn rate:
– Regressive: As it burns, the burning surface area decreases.
– Neutral: The burning surface area remains constant
– Progressive: Burning surface area increases as it burns.

10A solid-fuel rocket immediately before and after ignition
The shape of the fuel block for a rocket is chosen for the particular type of mission it will perform. Since the combustion of the block progresses from its free surface, as this surface grows, geometrical considerations determine whether the thrust increases, decreases or stays constant.

Fuel blocks with a cylindrical channel (1) develop their thrust progressively. Those with a channel and also a central cylinder of fuel (2) produce a relatively constant thrust, which reduces to zero very quickly when the fuel is used up. The five pointed star profile (3) develops a relatively constant thrust which decreases slowly to zero as the last of the fuel is consumed. The 'cruciform' profile (4) produces progressively less thrust. Fuel in a block with a 'double anchor' profile (5) produces a decreasing thrust which drops off quickly near the end of the burn. The 'cog' profile (6) produces a strong initial thrust, followed by an almost constant lower thrust.

The idea of using 11-point star-shaped perforation is to increase the surface area of the channel, thereby increasing the burn area and therefore the thrust.
As the fuel burns the shape evens out into a circle. In the case of the SRBs, it gives the engine high initial thrust and lower thrust in the middle of the flight.

Pyrotechnic Igniter:Uses solid explosives or energetic propellant as heat producing material. The common pallet basket design is a typical pyrotechnic igniter. Ignition of the main charge consisting of boron (24%), KClO4 (71 %), binder (5 %) is done by stages.
![Page 21: Lecture - 27 Prepared under QIP-CD Cell Project solid-fuel rocket immediately before and after ignition The shape of the fuel block for a rocket is chosen for the particular type of](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3c12e7f8b9a80378ea8ef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Pyrotechnic Igniter:
First, on receipt of an electrical signal the initiator releases the energy of a small amount of sensitive powdered pyrotechnic housed within the initiator (known as the squib or the primer charge). Next, the booster charge is is ignited by heat released from the squib; and finally, the main propellant is ignited.

22
Pyrogen Igniter:
This is basically a small rocket motor used to ignite a larger rocket motor. For pyrogen igniters, the initiator and the booster charge are similar to that of pyrotechnic igniters. Reaction products from the main charge impinge on the surface of the rocket motor grain, producing motor ignition.
