Dissemination of Solid and Liquid BW Agents

Abstract

Progress on the theoretical and experimental studies of powder mechanics is reported. The design and fabrication of a new aerosol chamber, equipped with light-scattering instrumentation is described. This chamber will permit studies of aerosol stability. The aerosol generation and sampling apparatus are discussed. Studies of the viability of Sm and Bg, in the bulk and aerosol forms, are presented. These are investigations of the effects of elevated temperature and additives. Wind tunnel studies of dissemination and deagglomeration are discussed. The results of further studies of small-scale agglomerates and a description of a new high-flow-rate disseminator model are given. New experimental work on metering and conveying dry powders is described and data are given on the performance of a fullscale laboratory feeding model. The results of computer studies dealing with the line-source dissemination of the agent UL-2 are given. The status of work on the design and fabrication of a liquid-agent airborne disseminator is reported.
