High Pressure Windowed Chamber Burned Rate Determination of Liquid Propellant XM46
Abstract
A high-pressure windowed strand burner has been used to obtain burning rates for XM46 over the pressure range from 10 to 300 MPa. Burn rates for the liquid XM46 were erratic due to surface irregularities. This burning surface variable was minimized by gelling; two different gelling agents were used. The burn rate (r) vs. pressure (p) can be adequately expressed by an exponential of the form r = Apn. A definite pressure break occurs around 70 MPa for gelled XM46. For pressures below about 70 MPa, n approx. 0.2 and for pressures between 70 and 300 MPa, the two different gelling agents gave n values of 1.0 and 1.2.
