Popis: This paper presents the experimental study of the distillation of hydrogen peroxide to increase the concentration of the solution, in order to use it as rocket fuel in space applications. The process of obtaining the desired concentration required for the operation of the wind tunnel model rocket engine was obtained using the vacuum distillation method. The process consists in removing a calculated value of the water content from the hydrogen peroxide solution with a concentration of 35%, thus increasing its concentration up to the value of 90%. The key factors that contribute in obtaining the desired concentration were evaluated and experimental results were compared with the calculated values.
