RESEARCH ON DEFLAGRATION OF HIGH-ENERGY SOLID OXIDIZERS

Abstract

The results of research on the deflagration of the solid-propellant oxidizers, hydrazine perchlorate (HP) and hydrazine diperchlorate (HDP), are reported and discussed. Each compound was found to be unique physically and chemically, in both its low-temperature thermal decomposition and its high- temperature deflagration behavior. HP and HDP are white solids of crystal densities 1.939 and 2.21 g/cc, and melting points of 141 and 191C, respectively. The following aspects of the combustion process were studied: The deflagration rate as a function of pressure and the effects of catalysts; the flame temperature and the temperature profile through the combustion wave; quenching, thermal decomposition, and chemical behavior. In addition, vaporization rates of HP were measured.
