A model of composite solid-propellant combustion based on multiple flames
TL;DR: In this paper, a model describing the combustion of ammonium perchlorate (AP) composite propellants has been developed based on a flame structure surrounding individual oxidizer crystals; the relationship between crystals and the binder matrix was evaluated statistically.

Deflagration rate, surface structure, and subsurface profile of self-deflagrating single crystals of ammonium perchlorate
TL;DR: In this article, a single crystal self-deflagration of pure ammonium perchlorate single crystal was studied, determining energy transfer mechanisms from pressure effects, combustion characteristics and subsurface profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion of ammonium perchlorate-polymer sandwiches
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of experimental studies of combustion of sandwiches is reported, and the results are used to develop a relatively detailed qualitative model for the combustion zone microstructure.

L. L. Bircumshaw,B. H. Newman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate in vacuo and under small initial pressures of nitrogen, to suppress sublimation, has been investigated in the temperature ranges 220 to 280°C and 380 to 450°C.

L. L. Bircumshaw,B. H. Newman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy of activation of the thermal decomposition was investigated over the temperature range 215 to 275 degrees C. The rate of decomposition increased to a maximum with decreasing particle size and then to decrease again.

The Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate at Low Temperatures
Andrew K. Galwey,P. W. M. Jacobs +1 more
TL;DR: The thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate shows several unusual properties, such as the ability to decompose only to the extent of about 20 to 30 %, leaving a residue which is chemically identical with the original salt as mentioned in this paper.
