ENGINEERING PROPERTY DATA ON ROCKET PROPELLANTS.
Abstract
The results of the initial 12-month period of the current 24-month program on the analytical and experimental characterization of the physical properties of selected liquid propellants are presented in three phases. In Phase I, a continuous review of the literature was conducted to ensure the acquisition and documentation of the latest possible propellant properties data for evaluation and possible inclusion into a propellant properties handbook. Phase II experimental efforts have resulted in the measurement of chlorine trifluoride density and vapor pressure; sonic velocity in chlorine trifluoride and chlorine pentafluoride; nitrogen gas solubility in chlorine pentafluoride; specific heat of UDMH, 50 w/o hydrazine-50 w/o UDMH, and MHF-3; thermal conductility of UDMH, MHF-3, and MHF-5; and viscosity of chlorine pentafluoride. Phase III efforts included the evaluation and assembly of all data generated in Phases I and II, preparation of complete physical property bibliographies for diborane and hydrazine, and assembly of hydrazine physical properties data.
