STUDY OF MIXED FLUORINE-OXYGEN OXIDIZERS FOR LIQUID PROPELLANTS
Abstract
Equilibrium studies of the reaction of BF3 with B2O3 have shown that between 473 and 800 K the trimeric form of metaboryl fluoride is the major species. Above 800 K, the reaction becomes complex, forming O-B-F species other than or in addition to monomeric metaboryl fluoride. The heat of formation of trimeric metaboryl fluoride vapor was calculated from equilibrium data to be -559 !1.5 kcal/mole at a mean temperature of 600 K or -570 !1.5 kcal/ ole at 298 K. Performance calculations were conducted to obtain theoretical specific impulse, chamber and exhaust temperatures and combustion species at several ixture ratios. (Author)
