NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN CONTINUOUS PROPELLANT PROCESSING FOR THE POLARIS PROPULSION SYSTEM.
Abstract
ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION: Both the nondispersive X-ray and reflectance refractometer were moved to the pilot plant for a run. Both units are undergoing final evaluation tests, and specific results were presented on brabender produced propellant for the reflectance refractometer. An analysis of variance was made on the 2 x 3 factorial design and signficance of premix and final fuel levels determined. CLOSED LOOP CONTROL: The dynamic response analysis on the oxidizer loop is nearly finished. This report presents the response equations and the theoretical controller settings on the oxidizer feeder. PROPELLANT PROCESSABILITY AS A FUNCTION OF SOLIDS PARTICLES: This subtask was completed and the final report is now being written. Specific recommendations on using the equipment for viscosity measurements will be documented. CONTINUOUS CASTING: This subtask was completed but the final report is being held for inclusion in the final report on the Task 6 program. (Author)
