Burn-Rate Modeling and Combustion Diagnostics for Environmentally Friendly, Solid Rocket 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 paper, we report the detailed chemical kinetics and burn rate prediction of tri-aminoguanidinium azotetrazolate (TAGzT) and nitrocellulose (NC).
