STORABLE PROPELLANT DATA FOR THE TITAN II PROGRAM

Abstract

Tests were conducted to determine the effects of the Titan II propellants on metals and non-metals and the effects of metals and contaminants on fuel decomposition. The Titan II propellants are N2O4 as the oxidizer and 50/50 blend of UDMH and N2H4 as the fuel. Storability data is presented for the fuel blend at 60 ! 5 F and at 200 F. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the effectiveness of removing residual N2O4 and water by means of hot N purging. Also presented is information on the mixing or diffusing characteristics of water and N2O4. Laboratory tests were conducted with small quantities of water and large quantities of N2O4, in the order of a ratio of 1 to 10,000. (Author)
