This federal contract award to Purdue University, with a ceiling value of $297,000.00, aims to develop novel mixture procedures to produce stable multiphase fuel mixtures for hybrid propulsion systems. The goal is to increase the combustion efficiency, specific impulse, and regression rate of hybrid fuels to provide a more effective, affordable, and sustainable means of space exploration. The work will focus on using low-energy emulsification techniques to create kinetically stable liquid amine-borane-in-paraffin nanoemulsions, and then extending these techniques to include additional liquid fuel additives and fuel binder combinations. The stability and combustion performance of the emulsified fuel mixtures will be evaluated. This award falls under the NASA In-Space Propulsion Technology Area Roadmap and is not set aside for any specific business type.
