COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS OF CRYSTALLINE OXIDIZERS

Abstract

This research involves theoretical and experimental studies of the burning of crystalline oxidizers ranging in physical form from large single crystals to low bulk density powders. A strandburner, window bomb and high-speed motion picture photography will be used to obtain burning rates versus pressure, and to record stability of combustion for a variety of particle sizes and pressure (density) packings of selected crystalline oxidizers (i.e., ammonium perchlorate) and analogous compounds.
