Ozawa-Flynn-Wall(OFW) iso-conversional method was used for the kinetic studies and to compute the activation energy(Ea) values for various decomposition steps of the prepared oxidizer and propellant samples in the temperature range of 50 e500C. TG-DTG experiments were carried out for both oxidizer and propellant samples at the heating rates of 3, 5, and 10C/min. AN/KDN based oxidizer samples were prepared by an evaporative co-crystallization method. Citric acid sol-gel method was used for the synthesis of Cu-Co~* catalyst. The propellant sample contains HTPB as the fuel binder along with other ingredients such as TDI, DOA, and Glycerol. The Cu-Co~* catalyst was used as 2% by weight to the total weight of catalyzed oxidizer and propellant samples. It was observed from the present study that, Cu-Co~* catalyst helps in reducing the Ea values for AN and AN based propellant samples. However, with the percentage increment of KDN in the AN crystals, Ea value increases.Further, it was observed that Cu-Co~* catalyst stabilizes the initial partial decomposition of KDN.展开更多
The doping dependence of dry thermal oxidation rates in n-type 6H-SiC was studied.

The oxidation temperature ranged from 1050 to 1150℃ and the nitrogen doping concentration ranged from 9.53× 10^16, 1.44× 10^17, to 2.68×10^18 cm ^3. By combining the modified deal-grove model and Arrhenius equation, the linear and parabolic rate constants, and their corresponding activation energies were extracted. The results show that： higher temperature corresponded to thicker oxides; dry thermal oxidation rate in n-type 6H-SiC depended on the doping concentration; both linear-rate-constant and parabolic-rate-constant increased with the doping concentration; the parabolic activation energy increased from 0.082 to 0.104 e V, both linear and parabolic activation energies increasing with the doping concentration; and, the parabolic pre-exponential factor increased from 2.6 ×10^4 to 2.7 ×10^5nm^2/s, both linear and parabolic pre-exponential factor increasing with doping concentration. Moreover, the experiment also illustrated that it is unreasonable to use a variation of the Arrhenius activation energy to explain the doping dependence of thermal oxidation on SiC.展开更多
