Abstract
This research is the preliminary flow system design of a hybrid rocket apogee kick motor using liquid nitrous oxide as oxidizer and solid high-density polyethylene as fuel. Empirical formulations of fuel regression rate and nozzle thermochemical erosion are formed based on static firing test data and included in the design process. Results show that structural and propellant mass is minimized in the cases with no nozzle erosion and a regression rate exponent of 0.5
