Secondary atomization and ignition characteristics of aluminum/hydrocarbon gel propellants were investigated. Models of gel droplet shell formation were applied to aluminum/liquid hydrocarbon propellants to examine the effects of solid loading and ultimate particle size on the minimum droplet diameter permitting secondary atomization. A one-dimensional model of a gel-fueled rocket combustion chamber was developed. A model for radiant heat transfer from hot aluminum oxide particles to the chamber walls is included. A two-dimensional, two-phase nozzle code was used to estimate nozzle two-phase losses and overall engine performance
