DEVELOPMENT OF LOW TEMPERATURE GAS GENERATOR TECHNOLOGY.

Abstract

The objective of this report is to characterize monopropellant hydrazine based propellants which, by the use of ammonia and ammonia-water diluents, are capable of producing clean, low temperature outlet gases when passed through a catalytic decomposition chamber. During this report period, preliminary testing was performed which provided a basis for the selection of propellant compositions for further study. Based on this testing and the results of thermochemical calculations, seven different solutions composed of various concentrations of hydrazine, water and/or ammonia were selected and physical property measurements were initiated. The design of a gas generator reactor, to be used for testing the selected propellants, was also initiated. (Author)
