STUDY OF METAL ADDITIVES FOR SOLID PROPELLANTS. VOLUME I. PROCEDURES

Abstract

Formulae for carrying out calculations of specific impulse and other propellant performance parameters are given. An extensive mathematical treatment of the free energy minimization procedure for equilibrium composition calculations is provided. The mathematics include extension of the treatment to include ionized species and mixing condensed phases. A discussion of sources and techniques for thermodynamic property calculations is also included. (Author)
