Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal decomposition and combustion studies of catalyzed AN/KDN based solid propellants
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of catalysts on the thermal decomposition of AN and AN/KDN mixtures as an oxidizer and on the composite propellants based on them were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of burn rate and thermal decomposition of AP as oxidizer and PVC and HTPB as fuel binder based composite solid propellants
A. Manash,Pratim Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an effort has been made to understand the thermal decomposition and burn rate characteristics of AP as oxidizer and PVC and HTPB as fuel binder in composite solid propellant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion performance studies of aluminum and boron based composite solid propellants in sub-atmospheric pressure regimes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the burning rate, ignition delay, and flame characteristics of ammonium perchlorate (AP)-hydroxyl terminated poly-butadiene (HTPB) [AP/HTPB] based composite propellants (CSP's) in sub-atmospheric pressure regimes (13kPa-100kPa).
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in phase stabilization techniques of AN using KDN and other chemical compounds for preparing green oxidizers
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) and ammonium dinitramide (ADN) based green oxidizers has been discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic effects of Cu-Co* on the thermal decomposition of AN and AN/KDN based green oxidizer and propellant samples
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the catalytic effects of Cu-Co* catalyst on the decomposition of AN and AN/KDN based oxidizer and propellant samples, and show that with the percentage increment of KDN in the AN crystals, activation energy (Ea) value increases.
