DTIC AD0370870: PROPELLANT HANDBOOK

A compilation of data on both liquid and solid propellants is presented with emphasis on liquids. Physical properties of liquids include: boiling point, freezing point, density, heat of formation, vapor pressure, critical properties, heat of vaporization, viscosity and specific heat. A discussion of the preparation method, toxicity, sensitivity, compatibility and availability of liquid propellants is also given. Property data on solid propellant components consists of densities and heats of formation. The results of theoretical calculations on the performance of both liquids and solids are presented and include, when available and applicable, the maximum specific impulse, characteristic exhaust velocity, chamber temperature, mixture ratio, bulk density, maximum density impulse and mixture ratio, vacuum specific impulse and area ratio.
