abstract = "In the last decades there has been an increasing interest in
low-cost, low environmental impact liquid propulsion systems,
while safety and a short development cycle continue to be
essential requirements. This work presents the development of an
ethanol and monoethanolamine based rocket fuel, hypergolic with
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), featuring low toxicity and high
density-specific-impulse. Initially, a set of tests was carried
out to evaluate this parameter in a range of compositions prepared
with several catalysts dissolved in monoethanolamine. Among the
catalytic materials tested, copper nitrate revealed the shortest
ignition delay. Subsequently, a Design of Experiments approach was
applied to select the ethanol and catalyst content in the fuel
capable of decreasing the ignition delay of the reaction. The
results showed that an optimized fuel composition with 61%
monoethanolamine, 30% ethanol, and 9% hydrated copper nitrate
weight percent, yielded a minimum ignition delay of 15.7 ms.",
