  • Composite solid rocket propellant with DCPD binder
    Patent number: 8192567
    Abstract: A composite solid rocket propellant comprising a fuel, an oxidizer and a dicyclopentadiene binder is provided. The dicyclopentadiene binder may be mixed with the fuel and oxidizer as a monomer and then polymerized after mixing to form the composite solid propellant. The composite solid propellant may also comprise plasticizers, triphenylphosphine, lecithin or combinations thereof. Methods for making the composite solid rocket propellant of the present invention are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2012
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Stephen D. Heister, Benjamin L. Austin, Jr., Jeremy Corpening

  • Method and apparatus for boundary layer reattachment using piezoelectric synthetic jet actuators
    Patent number: 6796533
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for active boundary layer control on an aerodynamic surface. One or more piezoelectric synthetic jet actuators operate as a boundary layer pump to ingest fluid along the surface of an aerodynamic object and discharge fluid tangentially to the fluid flow along the surface and/or at the trailing edge of the object to reduce drag and delay stall.
