Ignition of Hypergolic Liquid Propellants at Low Pressure

Abstract

Ignition at low pressure was investigated with theoretical techniques, applying thermochemistry and chemical kinetics to establish rates of energy release; evaporation studies to indicate rates of energy absorption; and heat transfer to clarify the rate of distribution of energy with a propellant droplet. While the work has centered about the ignition of hydrazine containing hypergolic liquids at low pressure, the attempt has also been made to develop concepts which apply to ignition of other fluids.
