COMBUSTION STABILITY OF METALLIZED GELLED PROPELLANTS.
Abstract
Work conducted during the first quarter of a 12-month study of the combustion stability of metallized gelled propellants is reported. A literature survey into the effects of solid particle damping on the combustion instability of both solid propellant and liquid propellant rocket motors was completed. The Priem model of combustion instability was modified to include the effect of inert particle drag and computer results using this modified model were obtained. The design of a 10,000-pound-thrust, 150-psia chamber pressure rocket combustor using a propellant combination of N2O4 and gelled N2H4 with solid particle additives was completed. Hot-firing program preparations were begun. (Author)
