Combustion Transients Of Solid Propellants

Download or read book Combustion Transients of Solid Propellants written by Norman W. Ryan and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is largely a restatement of conclusions, with reference to previous publications for details. The areas of study reported are an evaluation of the hot-wire-ignition method for characterizing propellants; the development and study of a gas-fueled analog of the solid-propellant T-burner; a study of low frequency (L*) combustion of L* during a test; a study of high frequency acoustic instability of solid propellants, both a T-burner and a radial-mode, radial-flow burner being used with the same propellants systems; the development and evaluation of a technique for measuring the solid-propellant response function to external energy perturbations at the burning surface; the measurement and evaluation of transient temperatures of propellant flames during rapid depressurization; and a detailed characterization of the low-pressure-combustion phenomena for several different solid propellants including studies of the low-pressure deflagration limit, the electrical conductance near the surface, the extinguishment requirements, and spontaneous reignition.
