INVESTIGATION OF THE SURFACE STRUCTURE OF BURNING MODEL MIXTURES OF SOLID FUELS (ISSLEDOVANIYE STRUKTURY POVERKHNOSTI GORENIYA MODEL'NYKH SMESEVYKH TVERDYKH TOPLIV)

Abstract

To understand the burning mechanism of composite solid propellants, a study was conducted on the structure formed during the burning of stoichiometric model mixtures containing the following oxidants: ammonium perchlorate, which does not melt, but is self-inflammable at 360-380 C; potassium perchlorate, which melts with decomposition at 610 C; and sodium perchlorate, which melts at 482 C and decomposes at 505 C. The following fuels having different physiochemical properties were selected: graphite, which does not melt and does not decompose; tungsten, which melts at 3200 C; naphthalene, which melts and sublimates at 80 C; starch, which melts and decomposes at 260 C; succinic and malonic acids (succinic acid melts at 185 C and decomposes at 235 C; malonic acid mells at 135.6 C).
