Thermal behavior and decomposition kinetics of composite solid propellants in the presence of amide burning rate suppressants

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of burning rate suppressants on the thermal behavior and decomposition kinetics of composite solid propellants was investigated, and it was found that oxamide played an inhibition effect on both stages, whereas the ADA acts as a catalyst in the first stage and as coolant in the second one.

Effect of amide-based compounds on the combustion characteristics of composite solid rocket propellants

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study on coolant-based propellants has been undertaken spanning from thermal analyses of ingredients to a variety of burning processes of the corresponding propellants, and it is proposed that OXA and ADA are acting on both the condensed and gas phases.

Scale-Up Tests of High Regression Rate Paraffin-Based Hybrid Rocket Fuels

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of paraffin-based fuels that burn at surface regression rates that are three to four times that of conventional hybrid fuels is identified, which is a natural attribute of the fuel material, and the use of oxidizing additives or other regression rate enhancement schemes is not required.

Effect of nano-aluminium in plateau-burning and catalyzed composite solid propellant combustion

TL;DR: In this article, nano-aluminium particles of ∼50nm size, produced at this laboratory, are added to composite solid propellants based on ammonium perchlorate and hydroxyl-terminated poly-butadiene binder that exhibit plateau burning rate trends and those including burning rate catalysts.

Mechanism of the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed mechanism for the chemical decomposition of ammonium perchlorate is proposed, which is adaptable to a wide range of conditions; to the low-temperature decomposition, to combustion, to the catalysed decomposition and to decomposition under various reactive gases.
