Experimental Study Method of the Combustion of a Spinning Metallized Solid Propellant,

Abstract

Description and capabilities of the set-ups developed for studying experimentally, from microscopic scale to full engine size, the influence of rotation on the combustion of a metallized solid propellant. Small scale tests on samples make possible the determination of a critical value for the diameter of aluminum droplets, at which the combustion kinetics of the metal remain unchanged. Tests on 'rings' make possible the quantitative characterization of the propellant sensitivity to acceleration.
