AERODYNAMIC HEATING OF SIDEWINDER 1C SUSTAINER GRAINS
Abstract
Sidewinder 1C sustainer grains were subjected to a heating cycle as follows: 130 F soak temperature; in 5 minutes raise motor tube skin temperature to 250 F and hold for 12 minutes; then raise to 350 F in 2 minutes and hold for 3 minutes; then cool to 250 F in 1 minute. The heating cycle was the basis of a test series, with the heat provided by a hexagonal oven consisting of six radiant heating panels. Detailed effects on the sustainer grain are described after a successful test, which, in a series, ran through five of the heating cycles. (Author)
