ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE BURNING MECHANISM OF SOLID ROCKET PROPELLANTS

Abstract

The ultimate goal of the investigation is the evolution of a time- dependent theory for the erosive burning of solid rocket propellants. The approach taken involves the use of a fluid dynamic model for the combustion zone. Attention is confined to a laminar-flow, steady-state model with simplified reaction kinetics. However, the analysis is formulated so that subsequent inclusion of time variable phenomena and more sophisticated chemistry will present no essential difficulty, other than increased complexity.
