Decomposition of Hydrazine on Shell 405 Catalyst at High Pressure. Part 1. 500 - 5,000 PSI.
Abstract
The decomposition of hydrazine on Shell 405 catalyst has been studied at pressures from 500 to 5,050 psi. A novel laboratory apparatus was developed with which the propellant flow rate and reaction pressure could be remotely and independently varied and monitored. Virtually unlimited run times were possible. Significant reductions in reaction efficiency with increasing pressure were observed, but 60% ammonia dissociation efficiences were measured at 4,600 psi. An empirical equation relating the ammonia dissociation efficiency to pressure and bed length is presented. (Author)
