Nanoenergetics and High Hydrogen Content Materials for Space Propulsion
Abstract
This program concerned the development and analysis of nanoenergetic and high hydrogen content materials for use in propellants. During the first two years of this program, research was conducted on: 1) experimental and multi-scale modeling of the thermo-chemical behavior of nano-aluminum particles, 2) combustion and decomposition studies of metal hydrides including ammonia borane, and 3) the integration of nanomaterials into propellants and the combustion analysis of these materials. During the third and final year of the program, the research concerned the development of theoretical methods for understanding and predicting anisotropic thermal transport and energy release in rocket propellant formulations. This report describes accomplishments from the effort.
