The combustion of composite solid propellants was studied using ammonium dichromate, chromium carbonate, chromium oxide, basic copper carbonate and cupric oxide as additives. Burning rates were considerably enhanced in each case. Flame temperatures were measured and found to be higher than in cases

Various theories [1,2] have been proposed for the pressure dependence of burning rate of composite propellants since a knowledge of this pressure dependence is vital for the design of a solid propellant rocket motor. Recently, Girdhar and Arora [3] have measured the burning rate of phenol-formaldehy
The Lenoir and Robillard model for the erosive burning of composite propellants is shown to suffer from use of an incorrect additivity law for coupling of the effects of heat feedback from the propellant flame and feedback from the core gas. A revised expression, employing a physically realistic add
Ignition delay of phenol-formaldehyde composite propellants was measured by a hot plate technique. The activation energy for the preignition reactions has been computed using the Arrhenius type expression for ignition delay.
An improvement in the performance of solid rocket motors was achieved by increasing the oxidizer content of HTPB-based solid propellants. To minimize the adverse changes in the mechanical and rheological properties due to the increased amount of hard solid particles in the soft polymeric binder matr
