Solid Propellant Chemistry, Combustion, And Motor Interior Ballistics

From a technical point of view, a wide range of topics is covered in some depth. Most of the papers deal with advanced materials and nontraditional formulations. The chemical aspects of organic and inorganic components in relation to decomposition mechanisms, kinetics, combustion, and modeling are a primary focus of Parts I and II of this volume. It is not possible to practice these fields without carefully attending to the safety issues, and so we have included several contributions on hazards and explosive characteristics. The field of experimental and computational interior ballistics research, overviewed in Part III, is moving quickly to include chemical information and the physics of the complex flow field. One motivation for melding the areas of chemistry and turbulent flows is the hope of eventually learning how to control combustion dynamics in solid rocket motors through the use of chemical effects. 1019 pg.
