COMBUSTION TAILORING CRITERIA FOR SOLID PROPELLANTS.
Abstract
The objective of this work is to study experimentally the fundamental combustion characteristics of solid propellants in a simulated motor environment, and to perform analytical work directed toward the scientific combustion tailoring of solid propellants for particular applications. The experiments are designed to investigate three basic phases of solid propellant combustion: steady state, transient conditions of instability and extinguishment, and induced oscillatory conditions. Propellants representing a wide range of both state-of-the-art and advanced constituents will be tested. In this phase of the program work has been directed towards the completion of a literature survey to establish the state of knowledge of the combustion of solid propellants. In addition, apparatus has been designed and fabricated for the experimental program. Techniques of using the apparatus have been established and pre-check testing of the equipment is in progress.
