Russian scientists breakthrough in safer rocket design with model that predicts when space fuel ignites The new mathematical model calculates ignition delay time with high accuracy (within 10–15% error) for hypergolic fuels — propellants that ignite on contact without a spark or heat 🔸The model accounts for heat exchange,... evaporation, vapor mixing, and chemical reactions — both in liquid and gas phases 🔸Ignition timing depends on droplet size and temperature; the model accurately predicts both 🔸Larger droplets evaporate faster, but beyond a certain size (about 3 mm), ignition delay time stops changing 🔸The technology allows real-time monitoring of temperature and mixture composition during ignitionshow more
