🚀 LVM3 (Launch Vehicle Mark-3): Chemical Kinetics Perspective LVM3 , formerly known as GSLV Mk-III , is India's most powerful operational rocket. Let's explore how chemical kinetics plays a vital role in each stage of this heavy-lift launch vehicle. 🔧 Overview of LVM3 Stages and Propellants Stage Type Propellants Combustion Type S200 Boosters Solid HTPB + AP + Al Solid Combustion L110 Core Liquid UH25 + N₂O₄ Hypergolic C25 Upper Cryogenic LH₂ + LOX Cryogenic Combustion 🔬 Chemical Kinetics in Each Stage ✅ Stage 1: S200 Solid Boosters Propellant: HTPB + Ammonium Perchlorate + Aluminum Burn Rate Law: $$ r = a \cdot P^n $$ Arrhenius Behavior: $$ k = A \cdot e^{-E_a/RT} $$ Combustion Reaction: HTPB + AP + Al → ...
