  • In order to investigate the influence of different component propellants on the performance of solid fuel ramjet(SFRJ), experiments were conducted on connected pipe facility for ignition of a SFRJ using polyethylene(PE) with paraffin, carbon black and carbon fiber as propellant. The combustion surface morphology was observed by SEM. The three-dimensional distribution of regression rate was obtained by using three-dimensional scanner and data reconstruction method. According to the data obtained from the experiment, the performance parameters of SFRJ under different working conditions were further calculated. Results indicated that: addition of 5% Carbon fiber could hinder the mechanical erosion of combustion surface of the polyethylene-based propellant and affect the pyrolysis process, making it impossible for self-sustaining combustion. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability was found through the three-dimensional distribution of burning rate. Adding carbon black and paraffin to the polyethylene-based propellant could improve the regression rate, and the influence of paraffin was more obvious. The mass fraction of paraffin of 30%, 50% paraffin and pure paraffin were 375%, 514% and 544% higher than those of PE respectively. Finally, the relationship between the average regression rate of the polyethylene-based propellant and the mass fraction of paraffin was obtained.
