  THE STUDY OF BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF AP/HTPB/AL BASIC COMPONENTS OF A COMPOSITE PROPELLANT

  By amir aziz, Wan Khairuddin Wan Ali

  Abstract: Starting the research on a solid propellant would be very much easier if the burning characteristics of a simple propellant is known. A simple propellant is a propellant made of three basic components namely oxidizer, fuel and binder without any additive substance to alter its characteristics. Unfortunately, a very limited number of references were published discussing the burning characteristics of simple propellant. This paper describes the burning characteristics of basic …

  Characterization of Thermochemical Properties and Combustion Behavior In AP/HTPB Polymer Composite Solid Propellant for Enhanced Performance

  By P.N. Kadiresh, K. Raja, S.P. Venkatesan

  Abstract: The thermal decomposition of solid propellants containing hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) binder is a complex process, driven by multiple interacting chemical and physical factors. Solid propellant combustion characteristics are profoundly influenced by the composition of the propellant, the conditions of pressure, the starting temperature, and a range of aero-thermochemical parameters. The paper explores the influence of polymeric structure in the HTPB binder on thermal decomposition characteristics of the AP/HTPB composite propellants …
