RESEARCH ON THE DEFLAGRATION OF HIGH-ENERGY SOLID OXIDIZERS
Abstract
The flame temperature of hydrazine diperchlorate was measured using fine Chromel-Alumel thermocouples. At 28 atm the measured temperature was found to be > 200C below the calculated product gas temperature. The observed temperature increases with pressure, and at approximately 100 atm the theoretical value is attained. The temperature profile through the preheat zone of the combustion wave was carefully measured at 18 atm. This was found to agree well with that predicted by theory if some variation of thermal diffusivity with temperature is assumed. The thermal profile at low pressure was found not to exhibit the character of that of a normal deflagration wave. This finding has shed considerable light on the nature of the process. Finally, quenching experiments were performed and these are discussed.
