Solid Propellant Combustion Mechanism Research.

Abstract

This research is directed at making direct measurements of the acoustic admittance of flames and interpreting those measurements in terms of flame models. Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) instrumentation, pressure detectors, and data analysis techniques were set up and used successfully to measure the acoustic response of a propane/air burner system. Applications of the techniques to solid propellants are described and are the subjects of the continuing research. (Author)
