A Windowed Bomb for Propellant Combustion Studies

Abstract

Equipment used for propellant combustion research is described. Combustion is observed in a windowed bomb with high speed, sequence or spectral photography where thin film thermocouples can be used to measure temperature profiles. Ancillary equipment includes an interrupt bomb to provide samples for scanning electron microscopy, and a sapphire windowed bomb which allows observation of some sub-surface processes. Preliminary results from most of these techniques are presented. Propellant combustion, Solid rocket propellants, Windowed bombs.
