EFFECTS OF ADDITIVES ON THE COMBUSTION OF HYDRAZINE.
Abstract
It was the objective of this program to experimentally measure the effect of additives on the burning rate of hydrazine droplets burning in nitrogen tetroxide vapor and to relate these effects to rocket engine stability. The work involved developing a basic understanding of the hydrazine/nitrogen tetroxide flame structure, using this knowledge to select effective additives, and then measuring the effectiveness of these additives in changing the hydrazine burning rate. The application of this work to stability control then involved computation of additive distillation and inclusion of this effect in a steady state combustion computer program. The resulting combustion profiles with and without additives were compared and stability changes were determined.
