MECHANISM OF CATALYTIC IGNITION AND COMBUSTION OF SOLID ROCKET PROPELLANTS

Abstract

The objective of this program is to investigate the mechanism of action of burning rate catalysts in the ignition and combustion of double-base propellants. Experimentally, the surface temperatures of burning propellant strands are measured and chemical-kinetic investigations of the products of degradation of the regressive surface are carried out. Heat is supplied by an arc image furnace for the ignition studies.
