The Effect of Acceleration on the Burning Rates of Composite and Double Base Solid Propellants

Abstract

This report discusses four experimental investigations: (1) The effect of propellant strand size on the experimentally measured burning rate at various acceleration levels; (2) an investigation of the effect of initial propellant temperature on acceleration induced burning rate augmentation; (3) an investigation of the effect of nominal burning rate on acceleration induced burning rate augmentation; and (4) a photographic investigation of augmented burning rate. Significance of the investigation and a brief review of the literature are presented.
