Atmospheric Dispersion of Hypergolic Liquid Rocket Fuels. Volume 2

Abstract

Titan II weapons systems are charged with hypergolic liquid rocket propellants (hydrazine fuel and nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer). These same propellants are used in support of other systems, including the MX missile and the space shuttle. This effort was designed to characterize the interactions of hypergolic liquid rocket propellants and to provide information pertinent to the development of a model to describe the transport and diffusion of airborne combustion products and unreacted vapors from an accident involving these propellants. This report is prepared in two volumes. Volume II discusses the chemical and physical interactions of the combustion products with air, and the dispersion of these products in the environment. Originator supplied keywords include: Atmospheric dispersion modeling; Hydrazine; Hypergolic fuels; Nitrogen tetroxide; Toxic hazard corridor.
