A Study on the Burning Characteristics of Composite Propellants at Low Pressure using Vacuum Strand Burner

Vacuum Strand Burner를 이용한 혼합형 추진제의 저압 연소특성 연구

Combustion characteristics of the solid composite propellants were studied from burning rate, ignition and steady combustion processes, and structure of the extinguished surfaces. Optical Vacuum Strand Burner (OVSB) system was desisted and configured to study those. Burning rates of the propellants were measured by OVSB at low pressure range by developed ten method. video camera(30 frames/s) was used to take potographs of the phenomena of ignition and combustion of propellant within the test cell of the OVSB. Burning surfaces of the propellants that were extinguished by rapid depressurization method were analyzed with Scanning Electron Microscope. (SEM).
