Burning Rate Studies of HMX Propellants at High Pressures
Abstract
Burning rate studies of some nitramine propellants were conducted at pressures from 2,000 to 50,000 psi. Changes in HMX particle size distribution produced large effects on the burning rates and burning rate exponent at pressures below 7,000 psi, but had negligible effects at pressures above 7,000 psi. None of the ballistic modifiers evaluated were effective in eliminating the slope break or in reducing the burning rate slope below 1.0.
