Combustion Instability Testing of NASA BSM Propellant (UTP 19048) in the NWC T-Burner.

Abstract

This work is a portion of the effort to determine the combustion stability of the NASA Booster Separation Motor (BSM) while the motor is in the early development stage. The motor is being developed by the Chemical Systems Division of United Technology Corporation (CSD/UTC); motor stability work is being carried out by CSD/UTC, the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (RPL), and the Naval Weapons Center (NWC). This report describes the T-burner testing and results obtained at NWC on the unstable combustion characteristics of the BSM propellant. (Author)
