N2 - The combustion of aluminum and water is of relevance to many propulsion and energy conversion applications. The authors propose a concept for realizing aluminum/water hybrid rockets using PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)/oxygen hybrid rocket combustion for heating. Three experiments were conducted to examine aluminum/water combustion, and the feasibility of heating by PMMA/oxygen combustion. The results show that the melting and combustion of rod-aluminum were achieved, however the aluminum/water reaction could not be confirmed before combustion extinction.
