Research on the Ignition of Solid Propellants.
Abstract
The specific areas of research to be reported on here fall under several headings, as follows: (1) ignition of solid fuels and solid propellants by heat conduction (shock tube); (2) theory of ignition in steady and nonsteady diffusion flames; (3) ignition by intense radiation (experiments with CW IR laser); (4) theory of ignition by radiation; (5) ignition in a convective flow field (shock tunnel experiments). The general objective of the work in all of these areas is an increased understanding of ignition in a rocket motor environment which will yield ultimately, design principles and rules useful to the rocket motor engineer.
