Effect of Surfactants/Gels on the Stability of Boron Particle Dispersion in Liquid Fuel

Metal-based nanofillers are used as disperssants to enhance thermal conductivity for a minimal fuel requirement extract maximum energy. To achieve this, metal-based must be suspended uniformly into jet so that desired propulsive characteristics can achieved. However, the dispersion of is critical challenge due density and viscosity independent parameters with scattered relation. Hence, in current work, we intended investigate JP-10 (Exo-Tetra Hydro Dicyclopentadiene) dispersed boron particles (BP) at various concentrations. The involved work was make stable longer period absence functional groups entailed BPs. Alongside JP-10, single-component, high-density hydrocarbon exhibit thixotropic characteristic nature hence combining BP makes it difficult; hence, there need oligomerization or addition surfactants derived from oligomers. BPs were by ultrasound probe surfactants, namely Hydroxyl Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB), Triton X-100, Span 80, Oleic acid, Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), followed an investigation their stability. experimental studies reported stability longest, 54 h, 0.5 wt.% 0.3 HTPB micron size (325 ± 25 nm). uniform achieved effect probe. From analysis, total weight loss 25% observed within short range temperatures, i.e., 50 200 °C.
