Abstract
Energetic solid fuels composed of modified GAP (glycidyl azide polymer) propellants were formulated in order to obtain optimized combustion characteristics for variable flow ducted rockets. Burning rate in a primary combustor and the combustion efficiency in a secondary combustor were studied and evaluated as a function of the mixture ration of fuel and air. The energetic fuels consisting of β N~3~ groups in its chemical structure burned very rapidly even though the combustion temperature was low when compared with conventional solid propellants for rockets. The pressure exponent of the burning rate was optimized to gain wide range of mass generation rate. The combustion gases generated in the primary combustor burned very efficiently in a secondary combustor. The effective specific impulse of the ducted rockets was obtained to be about 780 s.
