Abstract
The present paper describes a method for determining the equilibrium composition of the combustion products and the performance of propellants by using the Free Energy Minimization Technique. This minimization is sought to be carried out by a direct random search technique and systematic reduction of the size of the search region. The problem was programmed on the IBM 360/ Model 44 Computer in FORTRAN IV and rhe results for a typical metallized propellant are shown in the paper.
