AFTERBURNING OF ROCKET EXHAUSTS.
Abstract
The afterburning of rocket exhausts was investigated with the ultimate goal of finding remedies to the radar attenuation problem. The present study is directed toward a powdered additive program in that a mechanism of the inhibition process is formulated, additional compounds are tested for their efficiency as flame suppressants, and the results are shown to substantiate the proposed mechanism. In addition several modifications of the test apparatus were made to improve the run performance and the reliability of the instrumentation for the explosion vessel technique. A program for comparative testing with micro rockets, using solid propellants, had been formulated, but no tests were actually made. (Author)
