Research on Non-Steady Combustion and Extinguishment.
Abstract
Prior reports of work accomplished on this grant describe a mathematical model of non-steady rocket motor ballistics based on a simplified combustion theory. Current work is directed toward exploring the limitations of the theory. This is being done by carrying out a series of six experiments with different propellants and comparing the experimental results with theoretical predictions. The six experiments are: (1) Pressure dependence of burning rate, (2) L*- instability, (3) acoustic instability, (4) ignition, (5) response of steady burning to initial temperature variation, and (6) response of steady burning to thermal radiation. A modification of existing T-Burner theory has been considered.
