Fundamental Combustion Processes of Particle-Laden Shear Flows in Solid Fuel Ramjets

Abstract

Partial contents: Combustion of solid fuels under crossflow conditions; Carbon dioxide laser pyrolysis and ignition; Nonintrusive FT-IR diagnostics for species and temperature measurements of products from solid propellants; and Steady-state combustion behavior of MG/PTFE/VITON and boron- based solid fuels; Appendices include papers on: Ignition and combustion of solid fuels under high-velocity crossflows; Combustion characteristics and CO2 laser ignition behavior of boron/magnesium/PTFE pyrotechnics; Analysis of plumes of solid propellant combustion using an FT-IR spectrometer; and Combustion behavior of boron-based BAMO/NMMO fuel rich solid propellants.
