5-Amino-1H-Tetrazole also called 5-Aminotetrazole or 5-AT:
5-AT is the principal reagent in the synthesis of Sodium Azotetrazolate (Na2ZT), a critical reagent in the synthesis of HBT, G2ZT, GAT, and HAT.
**Interesting Note: 5-AT is used as the propellant in automotive airbags!**

Paraffin wax:
-Sold by Sigma-Aldrich according to melting point (ranging from 53-80 deg C)
$33.30/1Kg - $44.20/1Kg
*If it turns out that energetic additives are outside of the budget, I could potentially change the focus of my project to determining the effect of the paraffin fuel's melting point on burn rate and performance.
High-test Peroxide:
85% Hydrogen Peroxide is optimal for silver catalyst beds, offering the maximum performance without melting the silver mesh. Given a fuel mass of roughly 250g, 85% peroxide solution, and a typical O/F ratio of 6, 1.765Kg of Peroxide will be needed for each trial.

I am Samuel "Red" Otto. This blog documents my progress on projects in propulsion and CFD. In Research Science with Graig Marx, my focus is on the regression behavior of liquefying hybrid rocket fuels, determining the dependence of regression rate coefficients on the Thermal Properties of n-paraffin fuels. In ACSI with David Nassar, I am investigating core flows in a hybrid rocket motor using a MUSCL scheme in conjunction with the Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM) for flux evaluation.
