EVALUATION OF A HIGH ENERGY MONOPROPELLANT
Abstract
This report summarizes the work performed during the second quarter of a 12-month program designed to evaluate and characterize the combustion efficiency of MONEX DW, a beryllium-containing monopropellant, in a liquid injection type engine at a nominal 250 lbf thrust level. Initial checkout tests and a series of baseline performance tests have been completed with MONEX A, an aluminum-containing monopropellant. The results of these tests indicate performance of MONEX A increases with increasing chamber pressure. Delivered specific impulse values exceeding 202 ibf-sec/ibm (82% of the theoretical shifting equilibrium value) were measured at chamber pressures greater than 1200 psia.
