Editing Propellant (section)

=====Grain=====
Solid fuel/propellants are used in forms called [[Solid-fuel rocket#Grain geometry|grains]]. A grain is any individual particle of fuel/propellant regardless of the size or shape. The shape and size of a grain determines the burn time, amount of gas, and rate of produced energy from the burning of the fuel and, as a consequence, thrust vs time profile.

There are three types of burns that can be achieved with different grains.
; Progressive burn: Usually a grain with multiple perforations or a star cut in the center providing a lot of surface area.
; Degressive burn: Usually a solid grain in the shape of a cylinder or sphere.
; Neutral burn: Usually a single perforation; as outside surface decreases the inside surface increases at the same rate.
