Concerning the Effect of the Nature of the Combustible and the Catalytic Agents on the Combustion of Ammonium and Potassium Perchlorate Based Mixtures,
Abstract
It is known, that at low pressures potassium perchlorate based mixtures burn at higher rates than ammonium perchlorate based mixtures. In the present work substances were selected as combustibles, which do not contain carbon in their molecule and which yield ammonia (ammonium chloride) as the primary decomposition product; with a small carbon content which form ammonia (ammonium oxalate) upon their decomposition, and which do not form it (urea); the hydrocarbons - naphthalene, paraffin, 0-phenylenediamine and, finally, pure carbon - carbon black. Stoichiometric mixtures with particle dimensions <250 micrometers were studied and catalytic agents were added in an amount of 5%. The lower combustion limit with respect to pressure and the dependence of combustion rate on pressure in the range up to 1000 at were determined.
