AFRPL Graphite Performance Prediction Program. Volume 1. Recommendations for a Standardized Analytic Procedure for MX Nozzle Throat Recession Calculations

Abstract

A survey was taken of five solid propellant motor contractors to review current analytic techniques used to predict graphite nozzle material response. Several solutions for a baseline nozzle were conducted and gave similar results for flow field analysis, but not for boundary layer analysis. A sensitivity study was conducted on material response predictions and identified kinetic constants and heat transfer coefficient as the most important variables. Recommendations were provided for development of a standard analysis procedure.
