ENGINEERING PROPERTY DATA ON ROCKET PROPELLANTS.
Abstract
The results of the fifth quarter year's effort of a 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 vapor pressure in the high-temperature region and an estimation of critical properties; sonic velocity in chlorine trifluoride and chlorine pentafluoride under pressurized conditions; nitrogen gas solubility in chlorine pentafluoride; specific heat of saturated liquid chlorine trifluoride; thermal conductivity of MHF-5; and viscosity of chlorine pentafluoride. Phase III efforts included the evaluation and assembly of all data generated in Phases I and II, a curve fit of specific heat data on solid chlorine trifluoride, and a report of unpublished data on the normal boiling point of chlorine pentafluoride and chlorine pentafluoride storability.
