Ignition of a Solid Polymeric Fuel in a Hot Oxidizing Gas Stream,
Abstract
The highly complex nature of composite propellants has led to several postulates as to the controlling element of their ignition mechanism; exothermic chemical reactions in the condensed phase, on the surface, and in the gas phase, have been proposed. In an attempt to identify the rate-controlling exothermic reaction, one-dimensional conduction mode experiments with a shock tube and two-dimensional convective mode experiments with a shock tunnel were performed with pure polymer and propellant speciments.
