Impacts of Particle Size and Pressure on Reactivity of Boron Oxidation

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of particle size and pressure on the reaction process and mechanism of boron powder was investigated and it was found that the effect of O2 partial pressure on reaction efficiency was not only related to the total ambient pressure but also to the O2 mole fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ignition and combustion model of a single boron particle

TL;DR: In this paper, an extended model of boron combustion and combustion was proposed for a single particle, and the influence of forced convection on the particle was considered in both the ignition and combustion stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combustion Efficiencies of Aluminum and Boron in Solid Propellants

TL;DR: In this article, a closed-type strand bomb was used to trap all species participating in solid propellant combustion to measure combustion efficiencies of aluminum (Al) and boron (B) using titration techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneous reaction kinetics for oxidation and combustion of boron

TL;DR: In this article, a non-isothermal thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was used to study the oxidation kinetics for 95% pure amorphous boron powder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ignition and Combustion of Boron Slurry Agglomerates

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of agglomerates formed during the combustion of boron slurry fuels was studied in the post-flame region of a Rat-flame burner.

Combustion of Boron Particles at Atmospheric Pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, single particles of pure crystalline boron were injected into streams of hot oxidizing gases, generated by a gas-burner, at atmospheric pressure, and the panicle combustion process was described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental study of the combustion of single aluminum particles in O2/Ar

TL;DR: In this article, the burning-rate law of aluminum in a controlled O2/Ar environment was fitted to the present data by nonlinear, least-squares analysis, and the results indicated that the burning rate is constant throughout the history of a given droplet.

Combustion of elemental boron

TL;DR: In this paper, a static system was used to demonstrate the self-sustaining combustion of boron rods in fluorine and chlorine trifluoride gases, at a temperature considerably less than the steady-state combustion temperature for BORON in oxygen (approximately 1600 versus 2400 K).
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-Temperature Thermal Conductivity of Boron

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal conductivity of a single crystal of boron has been measured between 4 and 300°K, and an exponential temperature dependence, exp Θ/aT, was observed in the neighborhood of 150°K.
