Advanced Burn-Rate Modeling and Combustion Diagnostics for New, Rocket-Missile and Gun Propellants

Abstract

Advanced, burn-rate, propellant modeling is critical for developing new rocket-missile and gun propellants for Future Combat Systems and for providing a fundamental screening tool that can result in substantial cost savings compared to missile and gun firings. In this summary, we report the detailed chemical kinetics and burn rate prediction of hexahydro-1,3,5-hexanitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and selected high-energetic binders and nitrate esters.
