TEMPERATURE PROFILES UPON BURNING OF AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE

Abstract

The study of the principles of burning of ammonium perchlorate is of great interest owing to the anomalies which have been revealed by studies of the process. One of the authors experimentation showed the burning of perchlorate to be very sensitive to changes in experiment conditions, and in particular to the jacket - unjacketed specimens 7 mm in diameter at pressures exceeding l50 atm, in contrast to specimens with a 4 mm diameter. The dependence of the burning velocity on pressure has an unusual form: an increase in pressure above l50 atm entails a drop of burning velocity. Temperature profiles were obtained in the 40-350 atm pressure range. Anomalous dependences of surface temperature and heat release in the condensed phase of pressure were established.
