Experimental study of thrust performance for one-single stage solid rocket propellant / Norafizal Ali Afandi

This project is more on the development and testing of a small rocket engine with its propellant. A rocket propellant can be categorized into three types that is solid, liquid and hybrid propellant. The types of propellant are differ due to its material, mixture and application. This project focuses...
