Deterrents are materials that use in gun propellant formulations as controlling initial burning rate and to prevent of high chamber pressures in the interior ballistic. However, traditional deterrents are highly toxic and suspected carcinogen which makes them chemicals of concern that are non-energetic inert compound and reduce total chemical energy of propellant and reduce final performance of...

Solid propellant burning rate is highly dependent on the pressure, so that the combustion duration propellant rocket engines, combustion vibration leads to considerable changes in pressure. This could lead to an explosion in rocket engines. The best case is propellant combustion independent of pressure. Ballistic modifiers added to propellant formulation for reduce pressure sensitivity and re...

In this study, effects of longitudinal and rotational accelerations on the Internal Ballistic Solid Propellant Rocket are investigated. First, a quasi one-dimensional flow is considered to drive governing equations. By assuming semi- permanent flow and neglecting heat transfer through the walls, at each time increment the governing equations are integrated along the length of motor. Then, using...

Abstract In this study, the effect of additives such as ammonium oxalate (AO), mixture of ammonium oxalate and strontium carbonate (SC) on AP/HTPB based composite propellants was investigated by burning rate, DTA, density and autoignition temperature measurements. The results show that the burning rates of these propellants are decreased significantly. DTA and autoignition temperature experime...

Because of the suitable characteristics such as having desirable burning rate, easily manufacture and high purity and yield, pay attention to Ferrocene compounds as commonly burning rate catalysts of composite propellants. Migration of this compound in during shelf time is their main disadvantage. This process can be caused reduction of propellant efficiency and creation of secondary hazards. T...

When dealing with research and development of gun propellants, a less expensive, quicker and safer process of closed vessel evaluation adopted rather than gun firing. In the current research work a computer program (BRCBADR) has been developed for the burning rate reduction from closed vessel test data. Correct determination of thermo-chemical properties of propellants provides accurate results...
