The ARO Working Group Meeting on Ignition Processes, June 1978.

Abstract

A working group meeting was held at the Ballistic Research Laboratory on 15, 16 June 1978, under sponsorship of the Army Research Office, Durham. The general topic of discussion was ignition and combustion of propellants with a view toward development of an understanding from a microscopic basis, with particular emphasis on the influence of chemistry. The format of the workshop was unusual in that it was, by design, predominantly free discussion with little formal presentation scheduled, and closed attendance. Scientist from diverse areas related to propellant studies were invited; these specialties were thermal decomposition of propellants, gas phase chemical kinetics, investigations of solid propellant combustion diagnostics, and modeling. This report is a lightly-edited transcript of the proceedings. It also presents some views on the success of the workshop format. (Author)
