The ignition of composite solid propellants by CO 2 laser irradiation at low pressures has been investigated experimentally. Three ignition modes are found at subalJnospheric pressures: self-sustaining ignition, non-self-sustaining ignition, and pulsating ignition. Here, the self-sustaining and the

β¦ Synopsis
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.

Ignition times of phenol-formaldehyde composite propellants having a variety of oxidizers and additives have been measured by a hot plate technique. The data have been used to compute the activation energy of the ignition process. These studies indicate the possibility that different mechanisms may
A composite propellant subjected to radiant heating at the surface is theoretically investigated. Numerical solutions of the mathematical model which considers ignition as due to runaway chemical reactions at the propellant surface or in the adjacent gas-phase indicate that although inclusion of the
