Combustion Characteristics of Crystalline Oxidizers

Abstract

The crystalline oxidizers methyl, dimethyl, and trimethyl ammonium perchlorate have been prepared as rhombic crystals. The methyl A.P. has an atmospheric pressure burning rate two and one half times as fast as ammonium perchlorate. The thermal stability is comparable to that of A.P., although the methyl derivative is perfectly balanced chemically for a CH2/A.P. type system. The flame temperature is twice that of A.P. The system of A.P. derivatives should prove useful in determining the value of bringing high temperature flames closer to propellant surfaces in the overall study of combustion dynamics.
