Solid Propellant Combustion: Analytical Survey

Abstract

The survey consists of two parts. Part I contains a general discussion of selected articles on solid propellant combustion and Part II comprises the abstracts of these articles. The information in Part I is divided into 8 sections: (1) The effect of pressure; (2) Particle size, porosity, and density; (3) The effect of temperature; (4) Condensed phase reactions; (5) Ignition characteristics; (6) Additives and catalytic effects; (7) Theoretical stability criteria; (8) Miscellaneous. The material reviewed indicates that Soviet investigators are placing particular emphasis on the following three areas: the relationships between the pressure and the burning velocity; the effect of porosity, particle size, and density on burning velocity and instability; and condensed-phase reactions. These three subjects are discussed somewhat further by the analyst in the Introduction which includes the analyst's evaluation of Soviet combustion research. Part II includes 73 abstracts.
