Higher pressures and AP contents as well as smaller AP particle size were found to increase burning rate. The same behavior verified with AI and CC addition. A significant increase of burning rate was recorded when CC added to the aluminized formulations compared with the non-aluminized of the same oxidizer solid loading and particle size.展开更多

Burning rates were doubled at various pressures, when solids loading (AP and 17% A1) were increased from 80 to 88% and the measured characteristic velocity values were increased by about 100m/sec. The pressure exponent (n) values were lower with 80-85% solids loading. The burning rates were increased by about 2-5% when comparing the data obtained by static firing with those obtained by the strand burner method.展开更多
