Combustion of Solid Propellants and Low Frequency Combustion Instability Progress Report, 1 October 1967-1 November 1968

Abstract

This report summarizes studies of ammonium perchlorate deflagration; one-dimensional modeling of steady-state burning; burning rate behavior of propellants with bimodal oxidizer particle size distribution; burning surface structure; and mechanism of metal agglomeration on burning surfaces. A review is presented of the status of knowledge of bulk mode instability. Brief summaries are presented of other recently published work, including extension of one- dimensional combustion perturbation models to treat transient gas phase response, collection of response function data from three different experimental techniques to present a full range map of mass perturbation/pressure perturbation versus pressure and frequency for propellants, and further experimental studies of the structure of the combustion zone.
