An Investigation of the Effects of Acceleration and Strand Length on Post-Fire Residue of Aluminized Propellants.
investigationofe00cowl.pdf (3.662Mb)Abstract
Aluminized propellant strand lengths from one-quarter to two
inches were burned at accelerations from zero to 1000g at a mean
combustion pressure of 500 psia to study the effect of acceleration
and strand length on burning rate augmentation. Propellant ammonium
perchlorate oxidizer size and base burning rate were varied to investigate
their effects. Each post-fire residue was photographically
recorded and chemical analysis was performed by X-Ray powder
diffraction.
