The particular design constraints of such a motor require that the booster propellant, required to get the rocket motor up to operational speed, use the same nozzle as the sustainer propellant and as a result must have the same operational requirements such as low pressure (1.5-2 MPa compared to ~10MPa for conventional rocket motors). In simple terms, this work aims to develop an extremely high burn rate propellant which works at extremely low pressures.CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/'PhD''Resonant acoustic mixing''RAM''Propellants''Chemical Thermodynamics and Energetics'Media10.17862/cranfield.rd.7021982
